One of the worst jobs I’ve ever worked at. - Sales Associate Stag Shop Employee Review

- Extremely flexible hours (Recommend having secondary source of income as hours are scarce). - Friendly coworkers. - 40% discount on non restricted items (Majority of the desirable brands are restricted or a similar 35% discount constantly runs for the public). - Incentive prizes to be won. (Participation in games is mandatory. Prizes sometimes take months to arrive or never show at all in some cases). - 1% sales commission that can increase if monthly target is met. (Targets tend to be pushed beyond reasonable expectations for the area or during product shortages).

- Was terminated exactly one month following a formal complaint about being screamed at on the sales floor. After raising concerns about it to the appropriate staff, I was told during the meeting meant to address my concerns that "I would have fired you by now" with no reason given as to why. - There is a running habit of withholding disciplinary documents until it is convenient. (I.e: employee complains about misconduct and is suddenly presented with a week old warning about not signing a Christmas card--yes, really). - No opportunities for career growth despite claims about competitive wages. Was told during annual review that "raises aren't really a thing". - Loose enforcement of employee handbook standards and expectations. - Staff labelled as "ungrateful for an opportunity" after asking if compensation would be provided for work we were being asked to take home and do in our personal time. They wanted us to make educational workshops to host in-store to drive business.

There are no pros to this job, I'd rather sell my soul.

Everything is micromanaged, everything is watched or followed. You can't even make mistakes without being written up. You work alone 99% of the time for the crappiest pay, and will never make your goals. Its unsafe and boring but if you're productive, they say you took to much time to do a task. Their cameras are to watch YOU not the customers stealing. Everyone is on edge and you'll get called on or threatened with every move. Head office is unfriendly, rude and lazy. They don't know how to build a better business model, they think the structure from 30 years ago still works today. You have to wear a uniform like you work in a supermarket. They say its to define the employees but you have like 5 customers a day and you have to PAY for your own uniform. You constantly feel like you're being watched and are expected to be happy. No praise is EVER given, EVER. Upper management find a way to turn everything into a negative then blame it on their boss. Do not work here, there is a reason their turnover is so high. They're going down, mark my words. Unprofessional, HR nightmare, micromanaging, caddy company who can't get a good review unless you're paid to do so.
