Productive workplace
Hardlines Associate (Former Employee), Etobicoke, ON – June 5, 2013
Good place to work at, lots of respectful employees and good communication between employees and managers. My responsibilities included organizing departments, cashing customers out and making sure the customer always left the store satisfied. The hardest part of the job was doing everything possible to satisfy the customers' needs while following all – more... the rules of the company. The most enjoyable was the fact that all managers gave constructive criticism which allowed me to do a better job, and learn new skills for the future. – less

Interesting and unique learning experience
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Ottawa, ON – May 29, 2013
Pros: discounts, first choice at discontinued or damaged stock
Cons: lack of shopping carts, time taken to receive rain checked stock
A typical day at work:
Helping customers(with their questions or carry-outs), putting out stock, keeping store clean and safe, answering phone pages, helping cashiers with questions or providing cashier back-up

What I've learned:
Gained more knowledge on how to deal with disgruntled customers, how to use a cash, how to manage a stockroom, what to do – more... when a store is liquidating.

Management:
stuck to the given guidelines from head office.

My co-workers:
Team oriented, hard workers, friendly, motivational.

The hardest part of the job:
Telling a customer that they can't buy a certain products(non saleable merchandise, discontinued penny mark downs)

The most enjoyable part of the job:
Giving a customer the best possible deal that I can. – less

Productive and friendly
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Maple Ridge, BC – May 24, 2013
Pros: free pizza about once per month. a social club.
Cons: store was old and disrepair. it closed because the lease was sold to target
I always had a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment after a shift .
I learned the value of a good attitude towards my work and my fellow associates and the freedom of being open to new ideas and ways of doing my work.
The hardest part of my work was moving metal shelves of hours preparing for a new planogram. But the finished product made it all – more... worth it.
There was a good working relationship with management. Keeping oneself teachable and stearing away from laziness and a bad attitude is the key.
The companies concern for associates well being was always high on the list.
Family atmosphere made working there an enjoyable place to work and Social Club gatherings outside of store hours – less
