Cliques and High School
Very gossipy within and between departments, very weird balance between standing and doing nothing while running around crazy trying to help people. You feel very dead-end; they are in the process of getting rid of all full time employees so the position feels very not-secure. Turn over rates were pretty high.
One of best place to work
it was such a great experience working in the bay. I loved everything about their environments, management and team work. I have learned alot of things from that company.
Management sucks co-worker are awesome
Well, it was a good experience because of the co workers. They are so humble and helpful.. that was my first job as sales associate and I enjoyed it.. though really less working hours and management kind sucks. Firstly I was never given an employee discount card which even part time employes are supposed to get .. secondly they just told me all of a sudden that they don't need my services anymore and I was hiring as a seasonal employee however on offer letter it said the contract is untill April 2020 .. so that was really disappointing

When it comes to fringe benefits at work, some employers choose to put their money where your mouth is. Having an on-site cafe can be a boon for businesses -- and when the employer is footing the bill, it's a boon for you too. If your workplace has an on-site cafe, consider yourself lucky. If they don't, give them some reasons to consider adding one.
Productive Workplace
I learned a lot from my managers and gained a much clearer understanding of the the field. My communication and problem solving skills have massively improved. Besides that, I am more confident and can adjust comfortably with new/given tasks.
So far so good

A great place to work !
A great place to work, management is very supportive and employees really enjoy what they do. Everyone takes the initiative to make the customer happy. They go to utmost length in providing excellent customer service.
Not the best
It you need a job to save money while in school or as a part time it's not worth it . They dont have alot of hours because it goes by seniority so if your at the bottom of the list your getting 2 or maybe e shifts if your lucky i
Don’t waste your time.
When Hudson’s Bay looses money instead of thinking about how to make more IE. improving customer experience, re-examining their buys, investing in stores, equipment, technology, employees. They look at what can be taken away to save money. IE. job cuts, degradation of benefits, closing stores.
The plus side: to get a job here you pretty much just have to be alive....that’s it!

Good place for part-time work
Shifts typically consist of helping customers with purchases or answering their questions, tidying up the store and putting out stock. Management was friendly and approachable and emphasized making customers happy and promoting teamwork. The hardest part of the job was learning how to operate a cash register and figuring out where products are, but colleagues are more than happy to lend a hand if you get stuck. Overall, it's a good place for a part-time job if you're a student as they offer flexible scheduling. However, the pay isn't great and the union regulates when staff get raises, so I wouldn't recommend working there full-time unless you can get a promotion.
Only a matter of time till they end up like sears
The culture of this company is going to be the down fall. A company that doesn't appreciate its employees. Managers get the rewards for our hard work. Even after I was given a new position and title i was told if I want more money "work harder".
Management sucks
It’s okay place to work. management is no the best there. They don’t have your back and they throw you under the bus. The job was easy though but be careful because if your not bringing in enough money they are quick to get rid of you especially if your hired for seasonal. Training is not that great.
Overall it wasn’t bad
I had a good time working there. The work environment was not that great but it was okay. Staffs and colleagues were very nice. I had a great time working there.
Can you afford to work here?
Like many Retail Companies HBC relies on a large low paid part time workforce.
Many people, especially in urban areas could not make enough money to live on ( even if they are full time ) working here.
I believe staff retention has not been a priority of this company for many years.
The people that work in the stores are very hard working for the most part. Too bad the executives of this company prefer to keep on replacing staff instead of encouraging staff retention and making retail a viable career choice .

Merchandiser
I have worked at the Bay for exactly a month and havre never received payment for work done. They have implemented a new payroll software but cannot seem to work the bugs out. For the past month the pad answer has been” your cheque is on its way it’s being couriered here “ to date I have received nothing.The training is extremely frustrating as the work is so fast paced and expectations unrealistic . They
don’thave the time to explain what is expected.

Unfair/ bad management
The management is so bad, the salary to compare to the job that you’re doing is so unfair. No room for improvement and it’s so stressful place. And it’s no way to complain or talk to the HR or management
Bad place to work!
Carrefour Laval Hudson baie!! Do not join this one..
After applying the second interview was very disappointed with zero respect the lady was very mean.
I quit after the first day, never got my pay from the first day of work ,they treat people like kids and have no respect.
Very bad training you need to locate yourself and head to the downtown baie by metro at 9am for some of there training it’s
Really not worth it for minimum wage.

Productive and Fun Environment to work in
Working at Hudson Bay in Ladieswear was a worthwhile experience for me as I learned how to organize and greet customers. It taught me how to work as a cashier and how to handle cash. It was a fun workplace and if I would get the opportunity to work there again, I would definitely work there again.
