Productive and fun place to work
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) – Oakville, ON – 3 June 2018
Gave me many opportunities to learn or advance my knowledge on a great scale of things. Working there with great management ensured that I got a perfect amount of hours to continue and be productive with my life around work aswell.
Organization, customer service, and merchandising.
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 2 June 2018
The team building was well done for the associates, however, many employees are in a transition period, where they are not looking for a long term opportunity. Though everyone was very friendly and fun to work with.
Pros
Working with people
Cons
Minimum wage
Depends on the Management team
Service Shop Manager (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 31 May 2018
Working at Sportchek can be a fun experience, but it can also be fairly awful. It really depends on the management team. In some cases they cannot handle the stress of running a large store and can take it out on part time staff.
fun workplace with other people who love to be active
Sales Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) – Cochrane, AB – 27 May 2018
great place to work if you live an active lifestyle training is great everyone loves sport so it isn't awkward everyone has something in common the workplace is very laid back and fun as long as you get your work done. plus you get mad discounts which is always a huge plus!
Short future
Manager (Former Employee) – Pickering, ON – 25 May 2018
I worked for FGL for over 10 years, holding different positions within the company, from; Sales associate, Purchasing Analyst, Jr. Buyer, Manager. You name it, I've done it. But the company has taken a serious turn in its culture and future after the purchase by CTC. People just stopped caring, managers became untrainable and to be honest, knowing they cannot be terminated, they stopped working. Sportchek was the pillar and trend setter within the athletic community, but today, its full of unmotivated employees. Stores are falling apart or closing, staff is rude and managers are never around when you need one. I won't even get into under staffing and 'Online Only" sales, that have driven business downwards. I was a proud employee and wore my career happily, but once the powers that be started caring less, so did everyone else and now you have wasted retail space.
great job while attending school
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 23 May 2018
good if you're in school because they don't care if you only work once a week or not at all. been working at the same location for two years on and off full time & part-time. No room for advancement, also no raises. I've noticed the only time I've received raises is a couple months before minimum wage is set to go up and then minimum wage passes what I previously made anyway.
Okay place
Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Dartmouth Crossing, NS – 20 May 2018
Fun place to work, although the managers there were not friendly at all and expected a lot more out of their employees than was even possible at a sporting goods store. Pick favourites, and if you're not one of them you won't get scheduled and they'll be rude to you.
