Marks

I am happy to hear that in some Mark’s stores, there are still some good place to work for. But Where I worked, management and some staff should not of been there.  I worked at this particular  Mark’s for over six years, and yes I did see a lot of stuff. But I would not recommend working there. At first it was 0K, we had benefits. Then they changed companies and no more benefits. You could have benefits but you have to pay a lot of money and for the amount of money we are getting, it was too much. Then had lots of managers, and those managers had their favourites employees and if you were not the favourite employee it was not fun to work there. Some of the employees are so lazy, but they still work there. I was so stressed out I had to leave. I even found out my new manager wanted to get rid of me cause I wasn’t getting along with one of the workers that hasn’t been there for a year. And the sad part of it all, I wasn’t the only one that didn’t get along with that worker. So I left and I will miss the customers, but I made some good friends 

I had the opportunity to work for this small privately owned company. It is owned by a father who's son became more involved over time. The father was like a father to me and he was the reason I continued my time and employment there. However, he was in his 80's and his health started to deteriorate, thus the youngest son became more involved. Alot of different things were talked about regarding the business such as company perks, growth, advancement, etc. I spent a good amount of the time by myself at the office on a daily basis. However, it was a good feeling to be in that position as I am a very loyal and trustworthy individual. I was afforded the opportunity to expand upon my office skills and Quick Books in particular which I had not previously ever worked within. Overall it was good experience for me.

Re-stocking. I learned alot about saftey shoes and workwear. When products were out of stock at our location we would special order the customer that specific item. Management at the time seemed confused and flustered however i think management has changed since. The hardest part of the job was having alot of product but small range of sizes and having to tell returning customers the same excuse each and every time. I mostly enjoyed how far the knowledge i gained was taking me.

Typical day included organizing of case files, Scanning and making text searchable documents. Providing attorney's with any requested documents. Gained valuable experience dealing with insurance defense litigation. Management and co-workers were fantastic. Hardest part of the job was tracking down obscure documents for attorneys. Most enjoyable part was gaining experience in the legal industry by dealing with these cases.

Mark's is a good place to work as a first retail job, but not great in the long run. You have to be pretty independent and have to be able to learn quickly when you first start, because there is an immense lack of training. I also find it difficult sometimes to balance work with school, extra curriculars, etc, because I always receive way more hours than my max, and there are constantly new online courses you have to take. Other than that, it isn't a bad first job, it pays moderately well, and has good discounts.

You basically red old clothes and add new stock everytime 
Deal with annoying customers (they are nice sometimes)
Deal with SO MUCH pressure my managers and leadership about getting their awful  mastercard from customers who don’t want them 
If you don’t get the cards, it becomes a problem and toxic work environment 
Stay away if you can’t handle it


As long as you get along with your co-workers (which can change on a dime) and have a sense of humour it isn’t unbearable.
A ton of work and sacrifice is expected for little money and no benefits (unless you advance up). Expect to be harassed to come into work when you are home on an off day.
Company comes first, not employees. Working there means mopping, sweeping, dusting, and cleaning the store. I would only say that if you need the money....

There is a never ending list of stuff do. It'd a good job if you're an associate but once you go above that it gets stressful. Company does a terrible job at executing sales and are constantly making mistakes. Pay is minimal and doesn't go up much. You get free snacks around Christmas. This job will teach you how to handle a lot of different situations and how to adapt

Excellent management and staff, few hours, no benefits, raises few and far between.  Good for part timers only who don't need hours or those who have a second job. Schedules only posted a week or two in advance so no planning can be done.

Used to be a great place to work. Lost it's entrepreneurial culture when Canadian Tire stepped in to run things. Do not value hard work and loyalty. Soft leadership and poor decisions are paving the way for Amazon, Costco and better run retailers.
