overall decent
Automotive service technician(Co-op) (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 22 April 2018
Its was a pretty amazing from what i experienced. Everyone was treated with respect and was close like family. Management had made the workplace an easy and fun environment to work in. I honestly regret leaving to go elsewhere.
Overstaffed and uncooperative management
Cashier (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 13 April 2018
As a cashier we always had way too many clerks on shift (3-4 tills open after 5pm when you'd really only need one maybe 2 max). Due to this most cashiers would run out of things to do before noon, as all restocking, refacing, cleaning, returning carts, would already be completed. We were always being scolded for standing at our tills too long, but when we would leave to go reface/do other duties, we would get scolded for leaving the till. Overall the managers played favorites very strongly, and would never give time off if requested (even if it was a month to two months in advance).
Pros
Social Coworkers
Cons
Overstaffed, not enough work, slow.
Terrible
Customers Service Representative (Former Employee) – Red Deer, AB – 12 April 2018
Very harsh work atmosphere. Disrespectful management and over worked as a youth. As a youth I was working at the Red Deer location and was logging almost 50 hours a week
Pros
Fair pay
Cons
Disrespectful staff
Okay pay for an okay job

Good summer job
Sales Clerk (Former Employee) – Picton, ON – 12 April 2018
Lots of great friends made at Canadian Tire. Work may be tedious but teaches you great life skills! Sometimes customers can be a pain and rude but that has nothing to do with the company.
Pros
Lots of hours
Cons
Tedious work
Good work place environment
Cashier (Former Employee) – Pembroke, ON – 11 April 2018
A typical day working at Canadian Tire was pretty good, the job wasn't hard or difficult but there were some challenges along the way. But challenges are okay, it gives you something to work with. While working at Canadian Tire I learned how to work amongst my co-workers, interact with all sorts of different people and work a cash register. The hardest part of working at Canadian Tire was, sometimes, the customers and having to explain to them the prices on certain things, and why they were different prices on certain things and not others, but that problem was always solved very easily. The part I enjoyed the most about working at Canadian Tire was the people I worked with. The Canadian Tire team, is welcoming, happy, positive and all around good people.
Pros
good team of people to work with
Cons
Student Salary
Productive work place

Too many hours for part time workers.
good job
Auto Service Advisor (Former Employee) – 30 lynden rd. Brantford – 11 April 2018
The day always started out friendly and talkative assuming everyone had their coffee, and as the day progressed the customers came and went with their problems. overall the team I worked with was good and the techs got the work done well.
Interesting
Heavy lifting/warehouse worker (Former Employee) – Welland, ON – 11 April 2018
This was an interesting job i ended up quitting due to bad manager skills. A typical work day was unpacking and stocking all the inventory we had received during the day , it was a night shift so the life balance was hard to deal with.

depends what Dealer you work for
Sales Floor Associate (Former Employee) – Nanaimo, BC – 10 April 2018
The Dealer I work for didn't believe in positive affirmation for his employees and didn't believe that woman should have any say in anything. It was totally a boys club and even the managers didn't have the authority of anything
Not a great place to work.
Warehouse / Inventory Clerk (Former Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 10 April 2018
Hours were low and never seemed to match the work that needed to be done. We were always told how bad business was yet we could see how busy the store was by how much restocking was required. Management was friendly but played favourites with certain employees. They never would give you any notice when hours would be cut.
Pros
Occasional food treats
Cons
No raises or benefits.
to many leaders not enough workers
Service and Parts Manager (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 10 April 2018
this place felt like there alway was one person wo wanted to one up another person everyone wanted to give orders and no one wanted to do the physical hard work of stocking and labelling
Pros
decent co workers
Cons
to many complaining customers
Typical retail job
Customer Experience Representative (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 9 April 2018
Its your typical retail job, minimum pay (even less with benefits).
People are working there to make ends-meet.
No job culture, semi-toxic work environment.
Overall decent job, better than nothing.

Room for improvement.
Sales Clerk (Current Employee) – Brantford, ON – 8 April 2018
I only get to enjoy my job when managers decide to do their jobs. They don't fire degenerate employees and a couple managers refuse to force training on elderly employees because they don't "want" to learn. It's not fair we get paid the same wage and I do double the work of 90% of the employees in the store, including managers. Plus upper management doesn't seem to care much. The owner is the cheapest human being I know and doesn't seem to care about the immense amount of theft that goes on everyday. Sometimes I am embarrassed to be an employee here because it seems like everybody else is incapable of anything and they do not take their job seriously.
Pros
I have the only good manager in the store. Very flexible hours.
Cons
Too many too list.
