Productive Fun workplace
Technician (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 November 2023
Typical day at work is very fun and they let us have free time as long as we finish our work. I’ve learned a lot specially giving it all at work. Workplace is very professional. Hardest part is the long hours and low payment. Most enjoyable is the management.
Pros
Free food, Let you have freedom
Cons
Long hours

Will not recommend to work
Tire Technician (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 30 September 2023
Too many boss at this job. You didn't know who's to follow or not. Entitled co-workers. Lots of promises and micro managing. You will not learn new things just tires.

Accounts Receivable Specialist (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 22 August 2023
I won’t recommend this place as management has favouritism towards employees I worked long years & haven’t rewarded for nothing as I applied many positions internally

Jobs at Fountain Tire
it doesn`t cost to spend your time.
Commercial Tire Technician (Former Employee) - Kamloops, BC - 20 August 2023
In the interview, the shop manager promises a lot. Real life shows you won`t get anything except promises, too much stress in the hot season, injuries and low hourly rate. When you ask to raise your rate by 2$ you will see a broad smile and magic words.... you have to work more efficiently. Only overtime helps you survive.
Pros
overtime
Cons
low rate, poor management

Run while you can!
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Falher, AB - 12 August 2023
I worked 2 years for this company. Bunch of broken promises after countless hours of non paid overtime. Your never home and are stressed all the time. Run while you can! I do not recommend working for this company. They will tell you what ever they need to get you in the door don't be fooled......
Pros
Promises
Cons
Not living up to there word

31 August 2023We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time at Fountain Tire. Our managers work hard and for that they are rewarded with: an annual salary, annual bonus, a company truck, health and dental benefits, RRSP matching in addition to many other benefits. What drives Fountain Tire Managers is the opportunity to own their own successful Fountain Tire Store in their own community. Being a Fountain Tire Manager is demanding, and even though Managers receive the full support and benefits of the Fountain Tire Program, it is not for everyone and we wish you the best in your career search.

Awful.
Tire Technician (Former Employee) - Saskatchewan - 16 July 2023
What is the best part of working at the company?I'm unsure their is one, it's dangerous, and the people working there have little regard for safety. I almost didn't come home a few times due to unsafe pranks and/or work. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Being belittled for something I didn't do, I wasn't even working when someone else screwed up, but the senior guys never take responsibility, it has to be someone else. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Awful, I didn't feel supported or safe at work.
