What are perks and other benefits like at Dollarama?

Easy job, laid back work

No promotions, Limited hours and no benefits for part-time

The hours at Dollarama are flexible which is great for students who need a source of income. In most areas there is 1 or more Dollarama locations so it's easier for students to get to work, too.

Dollarama advertises "Competitive benefits" but does not stipulate that these benefits are for Full-Time employees only. You cannot apply to be full time directly, you are typically hired Seasonal and your manager may opt to keep you after your season, so getting these benefits is hard anyway. The "Bonus" is typically in the form of a Dollarama gift card (lmao). The raise track is only 10 cents per year for 5 years (Unless minimum wage rises)

IF you have a good manager, the experience isn't so bad. But even a really good manager has their hands tied by company policy, their district manager, and their regional manager.

Hours are constantly being reduced while the amount of work and deadlines increases. Full-time employees get part-time hours, but are expected to get the same amount of work done when they had full-time hours. Because there are no hours, shifts are always understaffed and the employees are overworked to meet their deadlines. There is no chance for growth. There are also very little benefits, even if you've worked for the company forever. If there is an increase in shoplifting or damaged items at your location, the company reduces the location's hours and the employee bonuses. Managers get punished for increasing hours at their location and rewarded if they do not use up all the hours they are given (they get a bonus from the company if they have hours left over).

The benefits and the work life balance are top notch. Love my team

slow to obtain promotions internally

Flexible hours, friendly coworkers, and a fast-paced environment that helps the day go by quickly. Good place to gain retail and customer service experience, especially for students or those looking for an entry-level position. Weekly pay and straightforward job duties are additional benefits.

Low pay, heavy workload, understaffing at times, physically demanding tasks, and limited hours for some part-time employees. Work can be stressful during peak periods due to the fast-paced retail environment.

easy but really depends on manager

no benefits are given like

Good benefits and decent interview process

Very clicky that constantly is gossiping and plotting behind your back. Imagine being in high school all over again but with adults with no compassion and only interested in getting a head. No personal time. You are expected to be available 24/7 and demined if you are not. Higher ups are greedy and only interested in their own gain and there is no interested in giving the resources to the lower status employees.

Flexible schedule as per the employee.

There is no bonus or other benefits.

The work it's self is Fun

Pretty much everything else. Bad pay, treated poorly, no benefits.
