Pros
- The management training program was good. - If you have the benefit of good staff, you can enjoy working with them.
Cons
- Work & Life balance if your a manager is practically non existent - Salary of 35,000 CDN for the 45 hours a week (Which isn't legal by the way max is supposed to be 44) yet expecting 70,000 worth of work to be a manager in their stores - Being told constantly that "your salaried therefor not entitled to overtime" which is wrong if you consult the Ontario Labor Standards Act. Which states that salaried employees ARE indeed entitled to overtime pay if they perform the duties of regular staff, which ALL managers are required to do. Ex. unload truck, stock freight, run tills, clean store etc. - Company constantly tries to skirt around labor laws until they caught, but when you call them out on it they make your life difficult - Constantly cutting of staff hours, then the regional manager demanding to know why work is not being completed. - Advancement opportunities are slim to nil. - Upper management is very out of touch with the realities of the stores day to day running. - Turn over for floor level staff is high due to the fact the company generally will not give more than four hours in any given shift on any given day. Most staff can expect no more than 12 - 15 hours a week if they are lucky. At minimum wage no less.
