From my first interview Sporting Life made an impression with me
Management (Current Employee), Toronto, Ont. – November 8, 2012
Pros: incredibly friendly warm work environment
Cons: you'll become a "lifer" and find it hard to work anywhere else.
From the moment I stepped into my first interview at Sporting Life to work here I knew it was a special place. My interviewer made me feel so welcomed and appreciated that I would have taken any job that they would have offered. It's now been just over 8 years and that feeling of Sporting Life being a special place has never wavered. The work environment – more... is the most enjoyable I've ever been apart of. Waking up every morning to come to work is never hard when work is this enjoyable. Add on great benefits, outside work events for staff to participate in and it all adds up to making Sporting Life a truly unique place to be a part of. – less

What You Learned
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Etobicoke, ON – November 5, 2012
Having starting as a cashier, I've had no experience in selling sports equipment. My first couple weeks as a sales associate my coworkers helped me out a lot throughout my time selling products. They have taught me everything I know to this day on products such as racquets, ski boots and snowboards, only to name a few. Also by having product knowledge – more... meetings have helped me better understand technologies on products. – less

It was an overall okay experience at Sporting Life
Full-Time Cashier (Former Employee), Sherway Gardens – October 23, 2012
Pros: discount
Cons: health benefits
A typical day at work was to greet and cash out customers, help and direct them if they needed it. In the middle of the day, we would count all cash trays and make sure credit card, debit and cash transactions all balanced. I learned a lot when it came to how to handle and deal with all sorts of customers. The management could have been better. I think – more... when you're on a management team, there should be NO favorite employees and everyone should be treated equally. In all work environment, you'll always find employees that act up and act immature to co-workers and customers. The hardest part is tying to make all customers leave happy and have them have a great shopping experience. The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting and interacting with different people on a daily basis.. – less
