No rewards above and beyond what regular employees receive. In fact, all other full time staff receive more in the form of recognition, prizes, OT pay, development, and other incentives.
You'll only be given 2 weeks vacation unless you can successfully negotiating for more. You're expected to work at least 50- 60 hr weeks, but will only get paid for 40. Hours worked are not recorded, so you'll lose hundreds of insurable EI hours if you ever needed to rely on that.
Never, ever ask or inquire about over time pay. You will never get the equivalent in time off for excessive hours worked. This is one of their unwritten rules.
It's a "use it or lose it" vacation policy. If you have vacation days left at the end of the year, the company will not roll them over, and will not pay them out (which is illegal).
There are no Christmas bonuses no matter how successful or profitable a store is. Only the store managers reaps the rewards. Not even a Merry Christmas or a card.
Annual raises are far less than 2% per year. This is a laughable amount considering it doesn't even cover the cost of inflation. Raises have nothing to do with performance, so there's little incentive.
There's no coaching, employee development, or performance feedback. If you're not part of the boys club, your presence and value will not matter. You will be ignored until you decide to quit.
