Getoutside Shoes

- The managers and staff I worked with are AMAZING. They work really hard, they have a great vibe and I learned a lot from them.

However, 
- The owner and store manager micromanage EVERYTHING. They both come into the store frequently to yell at the other managers, even in front of customers. It's really uncomfortable and counter productive. It seems like there is a domino effect of negative attitude starting from the owner. It really never felt like a space to grow.
- The bonuses are terrible, they will tell you that it is better than minimum wage but it's really not. You're better off somewhere with commission.  The bonus cheques NEVER come in on time and sometimes the pay cheques will be late if the owner just doesn't feel like coming in to sign them. There is just no system of accountability for the store manager or owner and there is such a high employee turnover rate that they don't care.
- The entire store is falling apart and the owner has made no effort to repair anything. We had to keep a bucket in the store all the time because of a leaking roof.

I never met the owner but the managers seem to be scared of him, which leads them to not asking for basic things like a new fire alarm or fixing a broken step. Manager was seemingly nice but hapless and too timid to ask the owner for anything extra to run a department well. 

There are many health and safety concerns in the warehouse (which is actually just the upstairs of their other shop down the street). 

Many lights don't work, doors are locked from the outside and the fire alarm was on its 'warning beep' for weeks. I really hope nobody gets hurt there.

My colleague was clocking in 9 hour days to get everything done, everyday. The eCommerce job is about 3 jobs in 1. They do not care about their employees safety. As long as it kinda works, they're gonna press on with the same process. I can't imagine they would take the time to improve their system for the better of the employees. 

All in all, it was an interesting experience. It was so ridiculous it was actually kinda funny.

Managers do not care about anyone but themselves and also enjoy acting like they own the employees. The owner is borderline verbally abusive . Poor pay structure and ridiculous sales expectations with no room for growth. Managers have their favorites, are passive agressive,vindictive and will most certainly talk behind your back while being fake to your face. do not waste your time applying there

In short, if you enjoy being spoken to and treated like a child while being managed by immature adults, you will love working here

The owner is verbally abusive and has become physically abusive in the past. He is a detriment to the store's success as no one who is willing and able to improve the multiple issues can do so due to his discouraging attitude. Staff turnover is incredibly high but the people who do work there are fun and there is a good camaraderie among the staff. I do make decent money for retail, but I don't feel like I have learned much in the time that I've been there. I don't recommend working there.

Literally the worst place to work and grow.  
The only good thing would be the employees and friendships you make, as they all felt the same about the store as a whole. Owners were horrible, and treated staff so poorly. The managers were alright to work with, yet most were extremely negative and fake. The pay structure is horrible, you basically get ripped off, and be prepared to be missing money. Just listen to the reviews and trust that this place is literal garbage.

Getoutside Shoes is a very busy store with a heavy workload. Ranging from a heavy customer traffic flow, sales goals and the abundance of incoming shipments, this store has you working hard from the second you time in to when you time out.

The work was monotonous but okay
The pay was minimum wage for the most part.
Managers were also the children of the owners which seemed unethical, they were very laissez-faire with their management. They didn't care much for the actual operation either.

Unsafe conditions, disorganized, no one really knew what they were doing. The associates/workers weren’t the problem at all, I believe it was more the owners problem. Employees were often yelled at by the owners for making a simple mistake, coming off extremely unprofessional. They also payed with physical bank cheques, no bank payroll. Horrible!

I was offered a full time role here. When I asked whether my contract would stipulate full time hours, I was told I would only receive shifts based on sales. They ask you to complete a quiz in order to pick up your pay cheque..no thanks :) 
Overall a dodgy, unappealing workplace

The only good thing is you could get experience. The owner and general manager ruin everything. They don't listen to employee. They believe they are the best and everybody should follow them. If you don't follow their rules, you would be fired. And of course there is verbal abuse. The owner is yelling all the time.
