      I worked at Canadian Tire full-time

      Pros

      I worked at CTC for ab 2 years. Work environment is healthy (unless you choose to associate yourself with the 5 chronic complainers who think they should get paid 100k for answering emails and being able to use vlookup). Everyone is welcoming and helpful. CTC has a lot of resources for new hires to get help when needed. Most of the processes are well documented, there are many reports that help you do your job well.... Management is very supportive. Work hours are flexible, you have the ability to work from home 1day/wk. Great benefits and perks such as sample sales, subsidized breakfast and lunch, free coffee and tea, 2k a year for education. The pay is adequate to your duties. All you need to do your job well is some basic communication, excel and access knowledge (although many RAs have no idea how to use Access), and common sense. The learning curve is a bit long but once you learn your job, it is not stressful as long as you understand your role in a team. Merch AVPs were great. supply chain AVP/VP probably did not know who I was, access to them was nonexistent, and if you did want to meet them it was on you to facilitate that and if it is your 1st or 2nd job out of university the chance is that you won't. I would suggest that SC AVP/VP make more of an effort to connect with their analysts. No bonus, instead you get profit sharing in April. Overall I appreciated my experience at CTC. It was a great entry level position, taught me a lot of soft skills and I would not mind returning to CTC in a more senior position.

      Cons

      Managers had no team budget and would often pay for team events with their personal funds. To me this is unacceptable and a budget should be created to address this issue. RAs are locked in their positions for two years before they are allowed to move internally. You should recognize great employees and help them grow by making exceptions for them and letting them move on before the 2 years is up. It takes a... long time to get promoted Low raises

      Advice to Management

      Keep being supportive.

      The management is good, they really seem to care and they're really accommodating in regards to scheduling.

      Cons

      It is still just a retail job and you have to deal with unruly customers The employee discount is only 10%, which is less than tax where I live.
