Life in Savers
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) РMontr̩al, QC Р22 November 2018

Management was not respectful of student employees
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Kitchener, ON – 24 April 2017
The management at Value Village were not receptive to the fact that employees, especially student employees, had other demands on their time. Employees were expected to live and breathe the company, even when they were part-time and minimum wage. Frequently yearly reviews were put off many months in order to avoid having to give an employee a raise.
Pros
Discount on products
Management

No Standard Operating Procedure
Production Worker (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 4 April 2017
While working there, the warehouse production managers were so obtuse. The price that they want us to put were not worthy to on those donated items that we're going to sell.
So may hazardous spots like boxes behind you that could fall and objects on the floor.
(But it was before. I hope that they change)

very dirty environment
fast paced and productive workplace. Always room for opportunity.
Retail sales manager IT (Former Employee) – Brantford, ON – 31 March 2017
In a typical day, there is always review with the SM, as to what is needed to be done for that day, along with upcoming deadlines. there is planning and focus needed to organize the day, around break coverage, or meetings scheduled. then the execution of the daily plans. Through the ISM, our weekly sales plan, there needs to be planning and thought put into it. Any product that is on sale, that is not placed in the proper setting throughout the store can negatively affect your sales goals. there is always opportunity for movement of product through the store. Being in the " Hard lines" part of the store, organization is a must. Signage must be checked or changed daily, for weekly sales, or daily deals. Motivating the team to stay focused and lending help when needed is always a must. the team we have in the store makes for a positive atmosphere. We always have fun, and try to keep it more of a family as a work place. we like everyone to feel comfortable coming to work.
Pros
more like a family
Cons
Store closing
Enjoy working with my co-workers and giving the best customer service to our customers.
