Good first job

Appreciate your staff and give actual recognition for their hard work. Don't play favourites, give everyone a fair change to succeed, learn, and grow. Remember that they're human beings and treat them like human beings, not cogs in a giant machine. Listen and act upon the problems that they bring to you.

What sort of experience have you had that will help you in this role

No opportunity to advance unless you're a favourite of one of the managers. Not enough hours, no positive reinforcement unless (again) you're a favourite, highly stressful environment with no incentive for most to work hard, leaving all the actual work for a handful of employees.

Minimum wage or whatever your wage is depending on your position/time spent within the company. The only perk is free meals for crew who work overnights.

I left due to the hours not being steady. A majority of the management was horrible, yelling at the employees all the time. Not enough recognition for the work you do for them and the salary, hours were not enough. We were told by upper management to lie on the surveys we did in the office to make the store look good or our hours would be taken away. We were also told to upsell or we wouldn't get any hours. This was at the Madoc, Ontario store
