Current Employee – been working at Shoppers Drug Mart

Pros – I am very proud of what this company has to offer it's client base, we offer excellent customer service and convience of an all in one shop! If you dont have pride in what you do, how can you enjoy it?

Cons – Having both the experience of working for Shoppers Drug Mart in Ontario and Alberta, I have to say that the structure and standards are not as high out in Alberta, due to the boom a few years back, some people were put into management positions out of sheer desparation and you can tell.

Advice to Senior Management – Keeping your team motivated and consistently praised for good work really goes a long way. Plus if the company offered a profit sharing type benefit we would have more staff trying harder to see the continual success of this company!!

Cons – customers can be so rude, the return policy is confusing sometimes, supervisors can be grumpy to the younger people working, some supervisors are lazy and expect the younger people to do everything

Advice to Senior Management – keep a closer look on the supervisors, some of them are really unfair to the part times & get away with doing things like reading mags while they work, and just overall being lazy!!!

Advice to Senior Management – I would like to advice you to open a single store of your company in Albania,Europe because Albania is a country model in Europe for the economical growth.The Prime Minister,Sali Berisha will help you to establish the new business there.The profits will come from the first year.The taxation system is the lowest in Europe.

Former Employee – worked at Shoppers Drug Mart

Pros – I found working at shoppers great. After the first three month probationary period, i told my manager i was bored with cashier work and if there was something else i could learn. She told me there was an opening for a photolab technician and i took that on. After learning about and doing the job for a year, i went to her again and told her i was ready to take on more responsibility and she offered me a part time assistant manager position. It was amazing the type of experience she was willing to give me and i found the company overall great to be a part of.

Cons – I cant really think of any work related downside. It was all really pretty good except for the fact that all our part time work lives were starting to mishmash into our personal lives as well and creating loads of drama.

Advice to Senior Management – I think the opportunities for advancement are great at shoppers, but if you want to improve even more, i would suggest creating programs that offer employees the chance to put themselves forward unlike what i had to do and keep asking my manager whether I could.
