      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.

      Pros

      Vigourous market, strategy and passion.

      Cons

      Passion is not trickled down to lower management and employees

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

      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.
