      Pros

      Real family like ambience. Lots of opportunities. above the rate paycheck

      Cons

      none that I have seen so far. But I am in a department that is super friendly and dedicated to people skills improvement.

      I worked at Uni-Select full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      None unless you have no choice and need to get employed.

      Cons

      Management not willing neither support you nor getting involved in finding solutions where their involvement is required according to the rational distribution of the official duties. In other words, you will be paid less for a higher level of responsibilities not talking about the volume of work coming again and again. As an excuse- the organisation has no structure etc. In reality, commonplace savings on Human Resources.

      I have been working at Uni-Select full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Lot's of knowledgeable, dedicated, and competent employees.

      Cons

      Tumultuous time for the company with no CEO, seeking strategic alternatives, and little communication from the top down.

      Advice to Management

      Work on gaining the trust of the majority employee base. Many are unsure of the company identity, the path we're on, and middle managers don't have the answers for questions employees are asking.

    4. "Worked at Calgary, AB warehous"

      No opinion of CEO

      I worked at Uni-Select full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Good place to get an entry level job if you're just out of high school and need to work. Pay is what you would expect for an entry level warehouse labour job.

      Cons

      Hard to get hired as officially full-time, they will employ you full time and have you work 40 hours a week so they don't have to offer benefits. Could be different by now but that was how things were when I was there. I didn't care because I didn't want the premiums coming off my paycheque.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to hwat the employees have to say and their opinions.

      Pros

      Great people. Good pay. Great discounts on car parts. I am not unhappy here, we are not micro managed in my dept.

      Cons

      Old-school way of running things. Strict hours. No flexibility. As a younger employee, I am behind a computer in a cubicle and this is now where I'd rather be.

      Advice to Management

      We need some more flexibility. To keep your employees, you will need to evolve your way of thinking towards a more 2018 way of running a company.
