Pros

wage is higher than anywhere else.

Cons

you have to work long hours. in slow days managers put pressure on you to sell, we do not know who we should sell to!!!! instead of encouraging the employee, they just increase the pressure by insulting employees about low sales. because they hired their hr manager from US she did not know anything about Canadian laws.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
