manager

It was an alright company to work for before the new owner took over. The costumers are one of the worse customers I have ever seen, and the company is going bankrupt.

Stressful and disorganized

Very little organization. Little to no order, along with the fact that management was not connected with their staff. in addition breaks were only given if you worked more then six hours.

Pros

If you needed a day off it was approved if you notified your management two weeks before.

Cons

Disorganized, no leadership, and breaks only given if worked more then six hours.

Okay place to work

It is not a bad place to work. As long as the associates do their jobs and are not lazy it makes everything easier but a lot is expected for store upkeep.

Overall a good company to work for- no complaints

A typical day would include checking inventory, stocking shelves, assisting customers, cashier duties. Not a hard job, but lots to do. Would recommend to anyone.

Customer oriented

A typical day is all about customer service. I learn about client services and multitasking. As an assistant manager, I do scheduling and planning. The hardest part of the job is to stand on your feet all day. The most enjoyable part is to interact with clients.

Pros

Flexible shifts

Cons

There is not much for growth.

Great job. I learnt much from Payless working downtown Toronto. It helped develop my analytical skills and also built composure under pressure. Wasn't very safe in the night when working late hours

Pros

30% in-store discount

Cons

Not very safe location in the night

Pros

Flexible hours

Cons

Standing for long periods of time

Was a good experience

When i first started working there i was 15 turning 16, it was my first job and it really gave me an experience i needed. It showed me a lot about working in a workplace, whether it was learning how to talk to customers or dealing/working with people in the workplace.

Pros

good work environment

Cons

messed up my schedule with school

Not a good place

Not a good environment to work in. Managers talk down to you like you're an animal. And the amount of work you do is not worth the pay and how management treats you. For people in Toronto I suggest not apply for the one in dufferin mall and cedabrae mall.

Very Structured

I have spent most my Canadian life with this company. The benefits are good. The management is okay as well. They put a high standard to employees that is sometimes un achievable with the hours given.
