Pros

Started off great with big promises, in-depth training in the States, follow-up training back here in Montreal. Before the stores opened, it was great. Everyone believed in the company and it was exactly what their slogan said: fast, fun, and friendly.

Cons

When the nightmare started happening: when we entered the stores. When nightmare got worse: when we opened the stores. What was their solution for a failing company, with no profits, with zero resources to help out stores? Very unprofessional "budget-cutting" by reducing by half the amount of managers per store. Very dirty work by upper management, invalid excuses, zero transparency, and zero appreciation for any of your hard work of 70+ hours/week. Basically: worst company I've ever seen, so much dirty work from the district it makes me sick to my stomach.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
