Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are very concerned about the negative experience you had while employed with us. We encourage all our team members to speak with their managers, or with the HR team, so we can explore and address these problems while still employed with us. We are sorry to hear that you felt the pay for your position was not adequate. The Customer Service Representative position is an entry level role at Trail Appliances. It is also a role from which many of our team members get promoted to more senior roles or Tier’s within the organization. We also ensure we review our frontline salaries on an annual basis to ensure we remain competitive in the marketplace. We are very concerned with your experience of harassment in the workplace. We consider any act of harassment or workplace violence committed by or against an employee as unacceptable. Our company is committed to taking every reasonable precaution to ensure that employees are not subjected to harassment or workplace violence. If you felt that you could not bring these experiences to our attention, that constitutes a failure on our part and for that we apologize. We are continually committed to building and preserving a safe, productive, and healthy working environment for our employees based on mutual respect. Our exit survey responses tell us that over 70% of departing employees feel that they were treated very or extremely well by their manager and close to 80% felt very or extremely safe in our workplace. We are sad to hear this was not your experience. If you would like to continue the conversation, feel free to contact us directly at HumanResources@trail-appliances.com

Pros

Very loyal customers. Fortunately it keeps them busy so there's always work.

Cons

No administrative training i.e. filling out work orders, hazard assessments, invoices, warranty forms, vehicle inspections,,,all paperwork. Very little training or support regarding any of the proper work procedures and management or office staff don't answer their phone to help at all. No leadership or encouragement what so ever.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for being part of the team. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with your management team and coworkers, and that the flexibility and work-life balance have been meaningful, that’s something we aim to provide across our teams. We also appreciate your feedback regarding workload and growth opportunities. We recognize that certain periods can be demanding, and we continue to look at ways to better support our teams during those times. In terms of career progression and compensation, we want to clarify that compensation is reviewed annually, and internal movement is a key focus for us. Many employees across departments, including within Builder Administration, have advanced through internal opportunities, which is something we strongly encourage and prioritize. That said, we recognize that visibility into these opportunities can always be improved, and your feedback is helpful in highlighting that. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you all the best moving forward.
