Good place to work if you work hard and feel motivated under commission
Sales Associate Executive (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 24 April 2018
Good place to work if you work hard and feel motivated under commission. You work independently and with high quality products so if you work hard and you like to see in your pay check what you work for is a good place.
not fun
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 23 April 2018
The managers as well as the store manager have been extremely hard on their employees to meet job tasks. Micro-managed everything that was indeed a bit frustrating. When asking for days off given in 2 months advance was still not accepted.
Peu de place à la vie de famille

productive place of work
Order Picker (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 18 April 2018
hudsonbay was really cool working. You saw a lot of great merchandise. it was very tiring though. your on your feet all day going up and down shelves to pick up online orders for customers. I one time found merchandise someone was stashing to try and steal and I brought it to the manager and they gave me gift cards in return. So there are some great perks to working there.
Pros
close to ttc
Cons
long hours and far from food places
sales associate
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 16 April 2018
ensure that the store is clean, make sure maniquins are up to date. with the newest outfits. excellent company culture, good coworkers. music was also great so it helped the shifts pass fast.
Good Experience
Marketing Associate (Former Employee) – Manitou, MB – 15 April 2018
it was a good experience to work with different people and to be able to help in different departments. although my personal schedule has conflicts with job schedule and due to that issue I could not handle both situations and have to leave work to focus on my studies, ministry and family
Busy yet relaxed place to work
Hudson's Bay Lockerstock, Stock Processor (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 11 April 2018
Often busy with work, yet easily get work done by timeline with help of team members. Here I have learned how to use Motorolla Scanner equipment, ticket making, processing, inventory preparation.
Pros
Do not work weekends
Cons
Have hours cut a few times a year when work is low
Unorganized & toxic environment
Graphic Designer (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 5 April 2018
Atrocious management & toxic culture. Project management doesn't exist & yet timelines are somehow set with awkward high pressure placed on people. Management doesn't understand project specifications themselves or where to even find essential working files, & deflects any responsibility at all times. High turnover rate of good professional people that somehow find themselves in this company — only people that are ok with literally being walked all over stay.
Pros
Cafeteria with good food options
Cons
Unorganized & toxic environment
do not apply!
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Coquitlam, BC – 4 April 2018
horrible place to work, lots of favoritism, management doesnt care about their employees only if you sign 10 instant credits a day .management doesn't follow protocols when it comes to conflict or resolution or encourage their staff to follow the dress code. the work atmosphere seems to be "everybody for themselves"
Pros
experience
Cons
low pay, low benifits
Good Job Security

Équipe agréable, beaucoup de pression pour rendement
Conseillère en vente (Current Employee) – Laval, QC – 28 March 2018
J'ai bien aimé travailler pour la compagnie La Baie d'Hudson particulièrement grâce a l'équipe d'enfer que nous avions dans notre département. Si vous êtes quelqu'un qui ne gère pas bien la pression je vous déconseille car les rendements sont la base de tout. Si vous n'apporter pas de bons rendements ( ouverture de carte de crédit, émail, etc) vous serez renvoyé très rapidement.
Pros
Équipe, 25% de rabais sur presque tout, relax
Cons
Pression
Great workplace

Part of a Heritage
Various Roles (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 25 March 2018
Prepared reports for the management team. Reviewed inventory for various departments throughout the store. Reviewed markdowns with a specific department and processed. Workplace culture was not always consistent with accountability of ALL associates. Hardest part of the job was leaving. Most enjoyable part of the job was meeting some great people.
Productive and fun environment. Inclusive culture!
RBO(Retail Business Operations)Analyst (Former Employee) – Burlington, ON – 21 March 2018
Daily review of prior days' report first thing in the morning in order to understand how to apply the available resources for optimum, effective, and efficient goals and objectives
Pros
25% off purchases
Cons
Work/Life Balance
Fun workplace environment
GIFT REGISTRY CONSULTANT (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 21 March 2018
customer service and product knowlege is key. Dealing and learning customer relations becomes a part of you and helps you grow. You have the poitential to grow within but it would take a long time because the managment and organization don't really appriciate the work you put in for them. Personally I have done a lot and started new ways to keep client information but was never really recorganized.
Not a good place to work
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 21 March 2018
-Horrible management, HR management is probably the only one doing their job properly.
-Lots of favoritism
-If you were to get injured, they wouldnt help much at all (management)
-Not enough staff, most of the staff is overworked and underpaid
-A typical day would be you by yourself in one department or on a rare occasion 2. To get 3 people in one department is usually impossible or only happens during big sales. Still not enough workers
-Scheduling is very random and usually very late.
-Lots of drama between the managers and employee's or just employee's vs employee's.
-Not much professionalism
