Pros
- Recognized for effort and rewarded accordingly - Lots of opportunity to grow and learn - Opportunities to go into corporate if wanted - BEST employee discount program ever - People of different ages and skill sets ensures diversity of thought - Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC) ownership of Sport Chek allows for clear and concise business targets, but also has fun while doing so by encouraging teamwork and hosting contests that encourage staff to take pride in what they do
Cons
- Working in retail can get repetitive - People (other employees) may look down on retail or look at it like it's not as serious a job, because they just "have" to do it while they're in school, which can sometimes bring down morale, as they don't have the same drive or initiative to take on tasks and be a team player.
