Part-time Front of Store Worker at Roger's Road Location - Part Time Front of Store Sales (Known As Operations) Savers Employee Review

- the stores are dirty (dust, dander, pollen, cockroaches) and pose the threat of things like bed bugs and lice - the bathrooms are disgusting and even though management is supposed to clean up bodily fluids (that's even said in the five hours of training videos they give you) they'll make you do it - everything in the back is run on quotas that are huge and often unrealistic - customers are horrendous, they think because it's used they can treat it roughly, make a mess, and get angry at the prices - you're pressured into signing people up for Club Cards and no one understands what they're for; they'll be old people that were convinced to sign up but didn't have an email to be told when sales are that have no idea how the card works and will get angry when they don't get a discount with it - senior's day is a nightmare - sale days are nightmares - always understaffed and then always cutting hours on top of that - a huge turnover rate in part timers because the work is hard/no hours to go around - a huge sense of favouritism (especially at the Roger's Road location) - usually late nights because there's not enough people scheduled to close - ridiculously early mornings - micro-management all the way down the hierarchy that confuses everyone and contradicts what the last person said so that no new implements are ever put in place - incredible pressure to get the quarterly bonus (all of $75 dollars if you make it) - will get written up or talked to for anything from not up-selling Club Cards to going to the bathroom during your shift - a high chance of injury, especially in production - on-call shifts are tedious and horrible; they think if they have you on-call for a four hour afternoon shift that your whole day belongs to them and will get super upset when you're not that flexible - will insist on you missing things like school and doctor appointments to work sale days or just busy days in general - will put a tonne of work on the shoulders of good employees while the bad ones or unwillingly to do hard work ones get to coast - you will get dress coded on things that fit the dress code (ie: grey denim instead of black even though it only says denim in the employee handbook) - can be forced to work a 10+ hour shift if you're scheduled from 2 till close since you're not supposed to leave until the store is clean at the end of the day (can be a nightmare during the busy period of Halloween)
