Mark's
Wonderful co-workers, and great work environment
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Dawson Creek, BC – 22 May 2018
I love working here! Everybody on the staff is friendly and good to be around. It's not a high stress job and it mostly consists of organizing and being comfortable with people. they teach a lot about till and cash and how all that works. They make sure you are very clear on company rules and standards. Biannual audits are done to be sure the store is compliant with company rules, as well as a yearly inventory. The hardest job I would say is stock or ladders depending on if your good with heights or heavy lifting. The best part by far is the staff though.
Pros
40% off regular priced items, and 20% off sale priced items
Cons
It can get to be physically draining sometimes
Great co-workers, poor leadership
Visual Merchandiser, Shipper (Former Employee) – Richmond, BC – 17 May 2018
I was hired as a visual merchandiser but mainly put out clothes and sold. I was a key holder until I was told they were getting rid of the key holders. It was not important they said. I rarely saw the district manager and my manager was a micro-manager who took credit for my ideas.
Pros
great co-workers
Cons
poor Manager

A typical day at work could be a lot of fun. There were good customers, a friendly staff and always something to do to keep busy. From working here I learned more about time management and how to approach and talk to people I'd never met before.

Part time cashier/Key holder (Former Employee) – Coquitlam, BC – 25 April 2018
Working on maintaining the stores cleanliness, helping customers find what they are looking for. I've learned how to take roll in being a leader. the hardest part of the job must be the customers who would yell and be rude to the Marks team
Great Canadian Owned Company
Assistant Store Manager (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 23 April 2018
I would have stayed with the company longer but specific management caused high turnover rates, me included.
Great customer base, great benefits, wage was on par

Good but could be better.
Front sales and excellence in customer relations (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 28 March 2018
Like most jobs in retail, it can be particularly hostile when dealing with some customers but the discounts and products available at Marks are nearly unmatched. Needless to say, that’s the best pro I’ve found.
Productive, easy going, fast paced

Key Holder/Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Wainwright, AB – 9 March 2018
I worked for the Mark's in Wainwright, which is a Franchise and not a Corporate owned store. It was a great work environment. Had a great managerial team. We always made sure to celebrate birthdays and any holidays we could. It was a family vibe with all of us. I met my best friend there and made some other life long friends. If you need time off or anything, the managers are pretty easy going about it. If you are looking for a job in Wainwright, and you can handle the fast pace of retail, then I would for sure recommend this place!
Pros
Great Coworkers and Managers
Cons
The Christmas Craziness

varying hours
Good people
Manager - Warehouse (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 20 February 2018
The people make mark's and the Canadian Tire Group of companies what it is and they treat their people with respect and understand the need for personal time and that to succeed in business you work force must also succeed.
