great job for somebody in high school
Golf sales associate (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 13 December 2018
Great job for somebody that is in high school, descent part time hours. you also get a killer discount when you work there which is really nice as you dont make much money.
Great Work experience
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 12 December 2018
Great atmosphere and one of the most welcoming environments I have ever been apart of. Managers are helpful while finding creative ways to incentivize employees to keep doing a wonderful job.
Great place during school
Order Picker/Packer (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 11 December 2018
Im a university student and working at sportchek is great. Really great for during school as they are very understanding about school work and your availability. Stress free environment which is perfect during university life. I will say however there is not a lot of opportunity of advancement, been in the same position for a year now and dont really see a future at the company unless in corporate but not sure i can make my way there without applying for a corporate position.
Fun, energetic place - great work culture if you have an active lifestyle
Shipper-Receiver/SSC (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 11 December 2018
I worked for sportchek for several years and stayed with the company because all three locations I worked at had fantastic people. The work-life balance is generally great for those who have an active lifestyle and sport commitments. They want you to care about these things and so in turn it's a priority to accommodate your extra-curricular activities. Can't beat the discount on gear either.
Unfortunately, unless you become a Manager there's very little room for promotion or wage-increase. But if you're young and looking to get some experience under your belt, I recommend Sportchek.

Pros
Fantastic store discounts, lasting friendships, fun and active atmosphere
Cons
Annual wage increase is very small and not much room to advance
Sneaky Management
Footwear/Clothing Associate (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 7 December 2018
Awful place to work, have worked with this company for 5 years and never have I been so disgusted with the management and company. New Department manager harassing younger females, making many of them uncomfortable and scared to come work, digging up personal information about them and messaging them daily. When brought up to store manager, nothing gets done, nothing at all. Disgusted and embarrassed to have worked here for half a decade. Do yourself a favor and don’t even apply to the Victoria Square location. Sexism and Male dominance is alive in this location.
Pros
Nothing
Cons

Fun Workplace, but young management
Online Order Associate (Current Employee) – Leduc, AB – 5 December 2018
Pros: The discount is worthwhile considering being paid minimum wage without commission.
Cons: The management tends to remain unsteady and can result in new hires of inexperienced managers.

Enjoyed all years I worked with this company
Customer Service and Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Lloydminster, AB – 2 December 2018
There was not much of advancement opportunity and my pay rate stayed the same. I believe my 4 years of experience and training abilities are worth more than a new hire. The culture here is amazing and management was very understanding.
Pros
great people
Cons
Late nights

good job, bad management
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 30 September 2018
learned many useful things such as customer service, inventory counts, some cash experience, and lots of knowledge on the products being sold. coworkers were wonderful and the overall environment was good however the managers are consistently critical, condescending, and are not at all understanding. part of the reason I quit was a lack of understanding between me and my manager .
Pros
good experience and training
Cons
management
Good place to work, management needs a lot of work
Cashier (Former Employee) – Prince George, BC – 24 September 2018
Fun place to work, awesome discount. Management sucks. They choose favourites, training is extensive but there is nobody there to help you once they throw you on the floor. Very stressful at times.
Pros
Discount

Easy Retail Job, But Stressful
Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 24 September 2018
It's a typical retail job where customers can either make or break your day. Some days are extremely slow, while others you can't even breathe it's so busy. The management is okay, and the work hours are relatively flexible. But the stress from customers can get to you.
Pros
Awesome discount
Cons
Short lunch break, way too busy

Cashier & Customer Service Rep (Former Employee) – Rocky View, AB – 12 September 2018
Customer Service Representative and Full-Time Cashier. This job is an entry level position in the retail sector. There are lots of young and part-time employees working while still finishing high school. So a high level of patience and cheerful attitude is required. Schedule changes without notice and you get used to working on call.
