What Metro pays, from the till to the warehouse
In most Metro stores, a collective agreement sets the pay. New staff earn the legal minimum at first, then climb a fixed scale as their hours add up. Warehouse jobs start several dollars higher.
💡 Seniority adds up: the contract for Toronto-area Metro stores adds $4.50 an hour over its term for full-time and senior part-time staff, and $3.20 for other part-timers.
Pension, insurance and other Metro benefits
What you receive depends on your hours and on the union contract at your store. These are the main benefits Metro offers its employees.

Metro’s store openings and conversions
The discount banners are growing fastest. Food Basics and Super C have added 31 locations through new builds and conversions, and 10 more Ontario Metro supermarkets are switching to Food Basics. Recent openings include these towns.
Behind the stores, Metro has finished a nearly $1 billion rebuild of its warehouses. The automated fresh centre in Etobicoke ships 1.1 million cases a week to 277 Ontario stores, and the one in Terrebonne supplies more than 700 stores in Quebec.
⚠️ Seniority sets the schedule: in union stores, staff with more years on the job choose their shifts first. New hires often start with evenings and weekends, and better hours come with time.
