Does Hudson's Bay offer vacation time?
Pros
Stores are generally clean. Good coworkers.
Cons
Horrible scheduling. It is outsourced to the US, and you usually work on morning shift, then one night shift, then another morning shift and so on. Hard to get time off that is needed. Management is inconsistent. Sometimes they will support you, then the are breathing down your neck. A lot of staff don't make it past 3 months, even if they've done nothing wrong. The turnover is crazy. Staff discount is awful. They make you sign up for their credit card (29.9%) interest to get 20% off merchandise. Who can afford that kind of credit card when working retail? The escalators are old and broken down so often. It is a stressful place to work overall.
Advice to Management
Be more supportive, not caustic. Give staff a chance. It can be a stressful job.
Hard to get time off that is needed.
