Typical days at work is smiling and helping customers meet their needs, which isn't hard for me at all. Footwear sales is easy as 1-2-3 seeing that i love shoes. management was ok, didn't see them too much but i had a great supervisor on staff.

Was good and went downhill
Full time associate/cashier/stock handler (Former Employee), Belleville, ON – April 17, 2013
Pros: great pay, awesome co workers.
Cons: upper management lacks initiative and hinders growth
Started in 2006 and absolutely loved the job. Kept part time employment until 2012 and after 6years was let go with no reason, no witness, and nothing to sign. Unfortunately company values have changed quite a bit and has made the atmosphere intolerable. Interaction with peers is limited and zoning has taken priority over customer service. It's unfortunate, – more... used to be a fabulous place to work. – less

Has potential
Clothing Associate (Current Employee), Surrey, BC – February 21, 2013
After working at a video store for a while, the switch to clothing retail was new. At first I really enjoyed working at Sport Chek there was a great balance between helping customers, completing tasks, and socializing with employees. In the past 3 months working there has really gone down hill, suddenly my boss hates any kind of social interacation – more... between employees where I've litterally been yelled at from across the store to stop talking when I had been having a 30second conversation. Since then my hours have been cut from 10-15hrs a week to 4hrs a week. I'm not sure if this is a reflection of the company or just this specific manager but it has ruined my opinon of working there. – less

Fun, young environment
Cashier (Former Employee), Brantford, ON – September 18, 2012
Pros: great staff
Cons: too many changes in management
Could be a fun place to work, lots of young health conscious people employed.
Management would benefit from more communication and less frequent changes.
