Pros

There are no pros; i really dont see any pros. I always thought that people were being mean when they leave bad reviews but i was wrong. Other stores offer more than 10%.

Cons

I always got closing hours. Which i complained of severally but no change, a bunch of us lived in oakville, toronto and very far away. We end up not getting home and sleeping at anywhere we can sleep because there are no means to get home. We thought we would be getting the day shift but we were wrong our hours were even reduced to non per week . i just called been working there less than two weeks and everybody is tired. They treat us really bad and keep yelling at us to fold clothes after closing and we are the reason that is making ourselfs late. Its no different from a factory job. The money is a bit less than minimum wage. Too much work for so little pay Customers keep dropping things on the floor. You always have to be working , always folding while doing that customers will come meet you to help with something you have to leave your area to go help them. By the time you are back your area is messy again. Break hours are really bad. Im a bit older than most. Sometimes ill get a high school sales associate trying to tell me what to do or using the managers name to get me to bulge.
