High school

English Copywriter (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 8 November 2023

Strange place, feels like high school. If that's what you're looking for you've found it but also you probably shouldn't be looking for something that feels like high school.

typical ecommerce work but on a bigger scale-- good coworkers but poorly managed and upper brass sucks

Freelance Photographer (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 31 October 2023

it's like working at a factory for e-commerce photos. your coworkers will be good, fun even. but upper brass treats you as a number, so you can get laid off or not booked at any point

Pros

Cons

fast paced shooting, lots of skus to go through

Summer WH

Warehouse Clerk (Former Employee) - Dorval, QC - 17 October 2023

I worked for ssense during their summer sale season. It was really busy and overtime hours for packers was mandatory even though during the interview they did not mention that the overtime would be required.

management

Vendeur (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 10 October 2023

Management plays a crucial role in organizations. Effective management involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve objectives. It ensures the efficient use of resources, employee motivation, and goal attainment. Good management fosters a positive work environment, encourages innovation, and adapts to change. It's key for decision-making, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. In today's dynamic business world, management must be agile and strategic. Overall, effective management is essential for an organization's success and long-term sustainability.

Fun place to work

Editor (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 28 September 2023

SSENSE offers a lively and dynamic working environment, making it an enjoyable place to be. However, it's worth noting that the workload can be quite stressful at times. Additionally, while many colleagues are supportive, there are a few who may not be as friendly or cooperative.

labor exploitation

Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 25 September 2023

If you cannot find a job and need the money, yes it makes sense otherwise there is no job security whatsoever. I needed a part-time job and the job suited my need. the environment is moderate.

Plan B

Operations Coordinator (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 12 September 2023

Working there is really hard and you should keep it as plan B. Not the worst place to avoid and not the best for sure. There are always preferences for some groups. However, you will learn a lot and you will feel comfortable to ask for help.

good place

Shipping Clerk (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 12 September 2023

It's a good place to work on a temporary basis. Just do your job every day and don't get involved in overly complicated relationships. The company is good, the management is bad. Especially some coordinators.

productive

Fulfillment Associate (Former Employee) - Saint-Laurent, QC - 31 August 2023

its a good company to work with the coordinators are most friendly especially the A10 morning schedule though there is always a pressure but still it was a reasonable because this kind of work there is always a qouta that need to be meet. the hardest part is its hard for them give you a permanent position only to those who have a close that having a highest position. no matter how hardworking you are vs lazy one if this person having a connection to the managers he/she have a big chance to get a promotion rather than a hardworking without connections.a lot of permanent in ssense but they are not working well. except those person dedicated his/her job.

Toxic Senior Management

Buyer/Planner (Former Employee) - Montreal, QC - 29 August 2023

To sum it up, there are 2 different types of senior management at SSENSE. The ones who are nice to your face but turns about and complains to your boss about you. And another type who thinks because they are the VP, they can talk down and belittle you. Even under a remote working arrangement, you can feel the toxicity of the company. This all stems from the handful of senior management.

Pros

Remote working

Cons

Toxic environment

Depressing workplace

Packer (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 21 August 2023

The amount of times you will be spoken down to by managers who dont seem to actually do anything is pretty high. Add on top the depressive work area and you got yourself a dream job if you want to hate life.
