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

You get paid at least. newer building was nice and some people are ok to work with.

Cons

Backward company. If you are not a Broderick then you are worth nothing. You have to kiss butts to get anywhere and even then. You are treated like garbage. They really don't care about their employees and it shows in their high turn over rate.

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. I am sorry you felt this way during your tenure with Trail. We encourage all employees to chat with their manager or the HR team if they have concerns of any kind during their employment, and this comment has never come to our attention. We also send out an employee engagement survey after 3 months of employment and I have yet to come across one with responses that reflect what you are saying. Similarly, our average years of service with Trail is over 10 years! I would imagine with employees staying 10 plus years, that they must enjoy something about working for Trail. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Recognized name, local company, high-end products and appliances, nice showrooms, several locations, that’s about all I can come up with, though.

Cons

Bad, and I mean BAD training for admin staff. No standardization by way of training, nothing really documented for new staff to reference once the initial introduction is done. You are expected to write a heap of notes, and have only that to refer to. Too much ‘village knowledge’. Some of the staff are downright crass at times, foul language abounds. If you want to work here, be prepared for cliques and a high school mentality.

I am sorry your experience at Trail Appliances has not been as you anticipated. We want to assure you that Trail Appliances Ltd. takes such allegations against employee conduct very seriously and encourage you bring up such matters, without fear, to Human Resources (or another leader you trust) so they can be investigated. As for your training, we do have a number of operating procedures, processes and documentation but certainly have room for improvement. Please bring forward your ideas and suggestions so we can continue to improve the way we do business.
