      Pros

      The company name is so big! Well known and good to be added in the resume.

      Cons

      The management is not qualified to lead the store. They treat the employees based on their mood - not rational at all! Also, they are not skilled enough when it come to customer care. I saw the manager and other team leaders treat customers roughly!

      Advice to Management

      I wish of higher management, take close look on what happening in Vancouver store. And I hope store management to be more people oriented (with customers and employees)

      Great product, customers are inquisitive and relevant engagement strategies

      Cons

      Very poor communication from upper management, human resources, and corporate offices all together. Little to no support for stores when required and forced to make due with what we have at hand in most cases.

      open communication with store employees, quicker fulfillment of positions and overall faster approach to reading and proactively handling situations as they arise.

      The overall company vision is strong, but the on the ground level is pretty volatile. Lot of changes and there is no transparency.
