Factory Shoe

Hey everyone,

Well my overall experience has been exceptional! Although.. this postie and extremely amazing work experience review is only for Mississauga Factory Shoe location.

Best Managers for sales and warehouse staff members. Always respectful, understanding and really appreciate your handwork.

If you or anyone you like wants to work I would say hats of to Mississauga location. Only go for that. I worked with them 2 years back. Although I have no idea how their operations are working now a days or how is the management now. But between 2017 to 2018 the years I worked it was lit! Awesome! Sweet! 

The review part mentioned below is for Kitchener Factory Shoe location in Comparison to Mississauga store (which is awesome !) 


Lastly, !!!***PROCEED WITH CAUTION FOR WORK***!!! on Kitchener Factory Shoe. The junior staff and team members are awesome but the Management is horrible. I have been waiting to write this review for ages. Worst Senior sales Manager. Doesn't respect you as a sales rep, doesn't care about your feelings, The demeanor of the Manager is more of Autocratic/Dictatorship style of Management. 

Its true that "One bad apple can spoil the bunch". I honestly could have gone to Ministry of Labour to file a complaint. But then I realized something. Oh!...  Wait...! I am a good apple lol! I should stay that way.  

Anyways at the end it was where I stood and how things turned out on my end. If I was given an option to choose between Factory Shoe Kitchener or Mississauga. I would go to Mississauga in a heart-beat. Few other reasons very less discrimination, secondly the team environment at Mississauga branch is more of a family set-up for example you would feel like part of a bigger and stronger team that looks after each-other. And what about Kitchener location I would just share one of the many things. Firstly senior staff have a separate break rooms. Where as Mississauga location has one big break room which can be deemed as  something similar to where a family sits and dines at home. 

Anyways I am sorry for the long review. Sometimes its good to share haha:)

I hope my review helped.  Stay safe and frosty! <MW> :)

Job was fine, exactly what you would expect of a minimum wage job in retail. Aggressive customers, nice customers sometimes, mostly people who need help finding something for a specific function or people who want to come in and complain about prices. Decent staff discount for shoes. Great place to practice patience and how to recommend specific product to customers. Managers at the Hamilton location are friendly, however there is a tablet that other stores use to call and get transfers. I had several awful interactions with managers from other locations, including aggressive language for no reason other than she was frustrated the inventory said we had something and I told her we didn't. The computers and inventory computers are old and not user friendly. Break room is tiny and windowless, not great. Not a lot of food options in walking distance for your half hour unpaid break. On Sundays, they only offer a 15 minute unpaid break for a 6 hour shift because "there's not enough staff". Overall a good enough job but not great for long term options. Had a friend that was offered a supervisor role but had to work for 3 months at their normal pay rate before they could get a raise approved. 

Of any job I had this was the job I loved the most, both my management and co workers were extremely helpful and encouraging to work with. The part I enjoyed most about my job was interacting with the customers and having a helpful relationship with the co workers. By this I mean you could ask any co worker including the store manager for help and they would gladly help you. The part I liked least about my job was when there was down time apart from making your section of the store clean and presentable there wasn't anything you could do but walk around. Typically at work I would help customers fid the shoes they were looking for, clean my section, re organize my section, do order picks for other stores and customer orders.

working there is fun and friendly to new workers, willing to show you around and how things work there. What i like more about the place, the manager is very friendly, trains her employees well and most of all, she does most of the work herself. she is the best manager i have ever and if you meet her at the work place, you wouldn't tell that she is the  manager. 
the workplace culture, is that each individual is placed in their sections but ones your section is in order, go round to help the fellow workers to put the work area neat and clean.
the hardest part of the job is to grasp all the shoes brands and when the customers shop on the phone when they are not sure of what they are looking for and are not willing to come to the store, you need to be patient in this case.

A typical day at work would be punching in and walking around the floor asking customers if they need help. Management is always in the center of the store incase there are any questions and if there are shoes to be put away we all do it together. The hardest part of the job would be walking around for long hours after the break is done. The great part is all of the people that work there and learning new things.

High turn-over rate. Personally, I'll never forget how management treated me - no respect. This job is an on-your-feet position, they give only 30 min breaks (unless you're a smoker... weird). I was questioned before on why I wanted to take a 15 after working five and a half hours. Does not pay according to how much responsibility you have. Management gets stressed and warehouse employees get yelled at, never with any praise.

I have worked a few retail jobs and Factory shoe was the most consistent, despite having the same issues that the retail industry does as a whole. The upper management was always very reasonable and supportive. Store management changed close to the end of my time there, and hours and expectations became less consistent and clear. 

At first the job seemed as if it was going to work and be an enjoyable  place to work. The first month was okay, but it soon became very difficult to deal with the management. The scheduling became very difficult and they were not pleasant to be around. You just had to shut up and put up, there was nothing that you were really able to do about your negative situation you were in.

During busy seasons, summer and winter, it's fast and busy. No shortage of work. On the other hand, spring and winter, just after new years, is slow and boring. Can be enjoyable with the right staff, but when where's cliques and favourites.. not so great.

This job is very helpful if you are a shy person because it puts you out of a]your comfort zone and helps you be able to talk to people, The employees are amazing to work with and they help you if you need the help
