my co owrkers are grumpy and unfriendly

The part/service counter is probably the busiest department. The phone is always ringing and customers are always at the counter as well as a lot of stock coming in each day.
We had to work as a team in order to cover each customers needs.
It would get a little stressful during the season change from fall to winter, when everyone wants there tires changed – more... "today" but we would work together to get things done.
Getting the customer the correct parts and in a timely manner was the most important thing. Being able to get them on their way quickly and safely. – less

working at canadian tire is overall a good job but they have been cutting hours so i havent been working alot and i havent been making alot. managment overall are all nice and help me with whatever i need help with or have any problems with anything

Working at Canadian tire has been a very good experience. I have learned alot from working alongside my co-workers as well as alone. As a flat rate apprentice, I have acquired skills to finish quality work in a timely manner. I have come to a point where I seek a challenge in my career, where i can use and enhance my skills to solve problems.

I really enjoyed my job at Canadian Tire. I worked there for over 6 years, and was employed in several different departments. I contiuned to grow within the company. But now being in my third year of university I need more relevant work experience.

Extended responsibility, not only completed transactions and held the responsibilities of a regular cashier, – more... but also was one of the few students that ran Customer Service on my own. Often having to deal with disgruntled customers I discovered how to deal with unhappy customers and make the best out of certain situations. Duties included: training new employees, returns and exchanges, calling other stores, ordering products, and organizing the cash area (electronic items behind cash, candy, etc.)
Skills developed: strong verbal communication; interpersonal skills; working as part of a team as well as individually; ability to meet customer’s needs; follow strict guidelines; organization skills; customer satisfaction – less

Mostly stocked shelves, helped customers. Overall a good job but they did have some organizational issues as to where product would go.

I loved working with the clients and my fellow co-workers. It's great to work as a team and work hard. The days pass by so fast it doesn't really feel like work. The people you help will sometimes teach you! I learned so much from every individual person and used that information to help others. I love learning new things and keeping my hands busy. – more... I was part of the management team and I think we all did a great job together. All of us brought something new to the table. Hardest part of the job would be getting everything perfect before a big inspection. – less

CTC is a good "dispatch" job with all of the characteristics listed in the summary line. The pay structure was low and would be more in line with the income that might be expected for a junior dispatcher role. This work was actually threw an agency (In-Transit). It takes a very long time (typically years) before being eligible to enrol onto the CTC – more... payroll.

The environment is very clean and safe. Excellent parking and security. Full facilities. Comfortable environment. If you need a job with some security CTC is an OK place to work. If the wages meet your needs you could also stay at CTC a long time. – less

Fantastic management,great co-workers and generally a nice place to work.

The boss's there are horrible. While I was working there, I also was playing lacrosse. If I had a game the same day that I was scheduled for work, I would tell my boss two weeks in advance so I could book it off. The day of my games, he would call me and tell me that I was working. I would explain to him that I gave him my lacrosse game schedule and – more... also told him two weeks in advance that I had a game scheduled that time. But he still would book me for work. – less

I started here to take on part time work witch grew into full time. I took on the challenge of working weekends and nights. here helped to look over multiple employes------apprentices etc.

The hardest part of being sales associate is dealing with angry customers, but working with it everyday helps me learn to be more patience. On the other hand, I am having getting different ideas and information from customers that I have talk to.

fixing tires
installing new tires
balancing tires
repairing tires

A typical day at Canadian Tire would start off with me talking to my fellow employees as i proceed to make my way to my department which was hardware. I then helped clean up the department by either bringing back overstock or refilling stock on the floor, which this went through out the day because customers will ask for help. When i was done with overstock – more... and refilling the stock homes, i then went up and down the aisles cleaning up the stock left on the ground or in different spots it shouldn't be in. I learned a lot from this job like which tools should be used for what and how to use certain machines in my department like the paint mixer and the computer. The hardest part of the job was when you are stressed and you have a customer who was being rude but you have to learn to shrug it off. The most enjoyable part of the job was the customers because i enjoy talking to people. – less

The supervisorial staff is unprofessional, aswell as the shop manager. i would not recomend working within that automotive department.

great job love the customers. time goes fast very fast paced,
