SHOPPERS DRUG MART Employer Reviews

Everyone works together, nice group of girls. Trained in all aspects of the job so every day that I work I am busy with different things to do. You get to know the regular customers and are able to help them with different things. You let them know the sales or give them a coupon to save a few dollars. They appreciate that and it makes me feel good – more... that I can make a difference in their lives. Even when they come in, in a bad mood, I can usually make them leave with a smile on their face. – less

A typical at Shoppers Drug Mart is full of customer service and responsibilities to keep the store shelves stocked and looking nice. I learned all about the printers, photo kiosks and how to take passport photos. My co-workers are excellent to work with and are always ready to help if I need it, and the manager is an understanding person. My favorite – more... part of the job is when I get to sell video games and get to share my knowledge about them. I also enjoy it when I help someone with the photo kiosks and they thank me for all my help, which is always a good feeling. – less

I have been working for Shoppers Drug Mart for 5 years. I really enjoy going to work everyday. I like the management and co-workers at my store. The job is very laid back. The only difficult part of the job is sometimes you have to stay on cash the entire 8 hour shift but you get used to it after awhile. Also you have to deal with superior customer – more... service, which is annoying and hard but thats with any customer service job. As a part-time employee they are vey flexible with the shifts and you can get however many shifts you want throughout the week. The only downside as a cash supervisor is that you are responsible for everything during your shift, sometimes if its busy you might not even get a break, and for all the work you do the salary is only $1 more than that of a cashier. Overall Shoppers Drug Mart is the perfect job to attain the most customer service experience. – less

As a Cashier I put through the products people bought and it was good because most customers always commented on the fact that I had a nice smile and I would greet them in a positive way. If they needed help I went out of my way to assist anyway I could on my shift and if I was too busy at the cash, I would always make sure someone was available to – more... assist. I enjoyed it very much, sometimes actors showed up to buy products, it made my job interesting.

The hardest part of the job was being on my feet. I would be very tired at end of my shift.

My coworkers were good at making me laugh and supportive.

I learned that people are extremely important to the success of any business. You have to do your part to contribute and to always try to do a good job. – less

Started as Intermidiate P/A till Principal Consultant in Keane (Where SDM outsourced IT)

Stressful working environment, management was friendly however seemed misguided as our store wasn't up to par as opposed to others. Was a good place to learn work ethics and gain customer service experience.

It was an okay job. Did it during my last year in high school. Had great amounts of hours and got to learn many new things like the PDT system and organizational skills.

Liked the staff, enjoyed the atmosphere, provided me with entry level skills

I worked for Shoppers about 5 years and I moved around to about 4 locations but my last one was my worst. I found so much gossip ( worse than "usual" ) backstabbing was through the roof and girls were so Catty. I was having a great start to my new year with a steady job, found a home close to work, was getting married when for some reason managment – more... did not like me very much and tried to have me fired for reason i wasnt even sure they could let you go for until my cosmetic manager had enough battering from the FSM herself she finally transferred leaving us with a new CM whom had no idea what the FSM was up to with me, turns out when our CM was not in I had got into work one day only to be told i was being dismissed for allegidly "misusing" my discount. Needless to say i got a hold of everybody and I will NEVER work for a Shoppers EVER AGAIN, there was too much drama and not enough pay to be able to deal with it. – less

In my 13 years of customer service, i have learnt patience, experienced difficult customers. I love working with people. I have always had great management team to work with. the hardest part of my job has been thinking if i had assisted the customer in what they needed.

Very exciting job in a very busy place. you get the opportunity to gain knowledge and improve skills in different aspects in the pharmaceutical field, for example, customer service, communication, pharmaceutical knowledge, team work, time management and many other skills.

Working at shoppers was great for me, i loved working in the type of work in makeup artistry i would like to persue. My manager help me alot and took alot of extra time to teach me her skills in makeup. and let me go to training seminars to learn, the staff was great and i learned great skills in sales. all in all it was a good experiance for me.

it was my first job it was fun to work there and co workers were great good discounts on products flexible shifts helped me.

I worked at Shoppers Drug Mart for a long time learning Cashiering, Health and beauty, post office duties and great customer service.

I started as I was out of high school and continued until I finished SAIT.

It was a great job when I was young.

I loved working at Shoppers Drug Mart.
I really enjoyed the client-ail and the people I worked with.
Shoppers did have a good computer system for Stock and payment options. Unfortunately the management wasn't as organized and as friendly as I've heard other companies are. I would like to find a job where the management is friendly, positive and supportive.

Great Company to work for and with. You truly feel as though you are a part of a family! There are so many areas for growth at the store level, along with head office and vendor opportunities. I would definetly recommend them as an employer!

I would work days & evening & also weekends. This was my second job. I was only 17 yrs old. I loved the experience.
