Doesn't RecommendI worked at Shoppers Drug Mart part-time for more than a year
Pros
Great employee discount because they offer a lot of different products
Cons
Commission was VERY low, lots of pressure to reach sales targets, and even though it's only $15 an hour, managers expect a lot out of you, especially if you work at the beauty boutique

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Shoppers Drug Mart part-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Employee discount of 30%, companies send free products for beauty experts to try which is nice. Made commission on cosmetic sales but they were secretive about how commission was calculated so you never really knew how you were earning it.
Cons
Working at shoppers kind of felt like being in high school and doing a group project the entire time. People were often passive aggressive with each other because they were miserable more often than they were happy. Management changed constantly. Policies were inconsistently communicated and/or changed without telling us. We were expected to complete mandatory online training at home without pay and were only recently allowed to complete the training in store while punched in. Stores started administering COVID-19 tests recently but they then allowed those test patients to shop around after their test in the store and interact with cashiers. Raises occurred in 5-10 cent increments even though I was meeting/exceeding all of my expected duties on paper. In my opinion, the wages did not reflect the amount of work we did. We were expected to provide makeup and skin consultations which required expert knowledge in order to carry out. We would also do full makeovers for prom and weddings. We were skilled but did not get paid to reflect the skill. Basically if they can exploit your labor, they will.
