Hi and thanks for reviewing M30 - I would have loved to meet all the people that we hired from our Calgary head office - Canada is just too darn big - but I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed this position, and it sounds like it worked for you as an independent, self-starter. The flexibility is definitely one of the perks of the job.Best wishes,Tiffany / Employee Services

Company is a shell of its former self

Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Alberta - 21 June 2021

M30 was once a decent company to work for, but those days are long gone. Communication is poor, the method by which training is provided is poor, there is little work, no guaranteed hours, the stability of the company is in question, recognition and job security are nonexistent. I can think of no reason to recommend M30 to anyone interested in reliable employment.

Pros

Virtually none

Cons

Little work, no job security

Hello and thank you for your comment. It sounds like you had a long history with our company, and have experienced the dramatic corporate restructuring that M30 went through, as a result of contractual changes and a global pandemic. I agree that this has been an incredibly challenging 20 months for M30, and while we look very different, the company is still standing which was the goal from the start. Unfortunately, I'm hearing that your experience was not very positive - please feel free to reach out if you want to talk. Tiffany / Employee Services

Great company its the stores they contract to that can be a problem!

Lead Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Bonnyville, AB - 19 May 2021

M30 is pretty great the pay was more than fair when I worked there and although my personal manager was not usually responsive or available my original trainer was always a call or text away and super friendly shes what I loved most about M30! However a certain store they contract to is not so great to be working in. The staff if friendly but management is not. It's obvious you are not wanted there, management rarely has planograms printed and ready, they regularly don't double check they've printed the correct plaograms, they usually don't have things ready for you to complete a section reset, if you need additional shelving have fun waiting for 1 of the 2 managers that are never on shift when you get there by the stores choice 8am but management doesn't show until 10am or later if at all. The staff say the langest seving manager regularly goes home early 1 day per week and the other is constantly late or no showing on shift and when you need these people to print planograms, tags, verify correct planogram to section, supply extra shelves etc it get annoying to goto work only to go home after 10 minutes due to no managers, missing shelves, reline refusals etc.

Pros

Good pay, great conpany

Cons

Undesirable store to work in, in my area

Thanks for taking time out of your day to post a comment - we appreciate all feedback as it helps us grow and change. Working as a third party contractor has its challenges, and we often have to play peacemaker or just deal with what the situation is, to the best of our abilities, and its sounds like you had the right positive attitude to making this work.Best wishes for your future,Tiffany/Employee Services

Good place to work but not enough hours of work

Retail Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 12 March 2020

It is a part time job with very limited amount of work. Would be great if it was full time. No supervision which is nice to be able to be left alone to do your work.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review and rate M30 Retail Services.I 100% agree with you that this would be a great full time job - if only we had that type of work available though! Our 2020 program started off slow and was *just* picking up in terms of hours/week when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and all work ground to a halt.I hope you consider joining the team when life/work returns to normal.Thanks again,Tiffany/Employee Services

Disorganized

Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 24 January 2020

Disjointed company. Hours were minimal. Was expecting 32, some weeks got only four. High turnover of staff and often left to struggle alone. Never met supervisor or any of team.

Hello and thank you for your review -I'm sorry that you had such a negative experience. Our 2020 reset program did start off very very slowly and we are aware of the frustration that caused our team members. I'm a bit confused by your date of review - our reset program did not kick off until the first weekend of February. Best of luckTiffany/Employee Services

Work independently yet always a phone call away from problem resolution if needed. Best work environment.

Lead Retail Merchandiser - M30 Retail Services (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 30 November 2019

Once trained, one is left on their own to complete tasks in a timely and efficient professional manner. As long as everything is done correctly, one rarely hears from management. Must love attention to detail. Must enjoy tedious tasks. Best job for me ever!

Part-time merchandising and sales work

Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 22 August 2019

Sales aspect of the business was poorly organized with very minimal supervision or guidance. The company is in a growth mode in Eastern Canada and must get a better understanding of the marketplace and challenges.
