There have been numerous changes within the rankings since 2021, as some discount brands jumped several spots while some chains fell behind.
The national survey of 2,932 Canadians, conducted by Maru Public Opinion as part of the Canada's Most Respected Awards Program, found that Costco was the most respected food retailer in Canada for the second consecutive time.
Yeah, my wife worked for Costco for a few years and it was... fine. It wasn't exceptional in any way, but it was decent. But for a retail chain, "decent" is a pretty significant improvement over the competition.
I've noticed that, at least historically, a lot of the buzz around Costco being a great employer comes from the States. Which makes sense, as the bar is even lower down there, so the same policies are much more impressive.
