This store had a manager who sits in there office all day and did not take the effort to be a real leader. It was a nepotistic environment created between management and supervisors. The paycheck and hours were very low tier (below 12 hours a week). The customers were friendly. Constant miscommunication between coworkers and direction from management. Upper head office is useless and won't solve any issues. I feel that quality talent acquisition is basically chucked out the window with Factory Direct and instead they focus on poorly executed recruitment processes and lack any real sense of open door policy to new people joining the company. They sell refurbished products that are not even worth selling in the open market with haphazard and questionable warranties given to customers. This company severely needs a restructuring. Advice to job seekers, stay clear of this one.

I can definitely say this is one of the worst companies to work for, They don't care one bit about the Garbage they sell to people nor do they care about their employees. Prepare to be threatened and yelled at even though you have no control over the Garbage they sell... It's just a pay check and not a good one at that, Nobody but management is full time so I wouldn't expect full time hours. Pay is far from enough for what the employees have to deal with especially at the Oshawa location. Management was good, but then they switched it up and it became horrible.

I won't lie and say I did not enjoy working here until 2017. We unfortunately hired on a new manager who would let go of employee's that she didn't like. Employee's who knew more about the company, Employee's who were female, or employee's who received good feedback from customers when she did not.

Fast paced environment.  Every day was something new.  Like an adventure.  The customers that shop here are from every spectrum of society.  Must be able to diffuse intense situations quickly or you may end up in an altercation. 

They don't care about the store, all employees are lazy and complain.
Management does not care, the are always understaffed. They don't train people properly, and they make their employees do all the work while management doesn't do anything. Also you if need help at the counter with a customer the manager does not help.

Its a good place to start out for they only offer part time positions only. The co-workers and not always the best to work with especially if there is a bad or busy day. The salary is minimum wage.

IT WAS FUN WORKING AT THE FACTORY DIRECT, THE MANAGEMENT WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING, I LEARNED SO MANY THINGS WORKING HERE LIKE HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH CUSTOMERS, I LEARNED ABOUT COMPUTERS AND TECHNOLOGY, CO-WORKERS WERE VERY HELPFUL.

An awesome start to your career if you get chance to work in this place. Supporting colleagues. You get every opportunity to prove your worth. Good management.

I enjoyed working at Factory Direct in Brantford, however the customers were not enjoyable to deal with since low-margin low-cost electronics attract a certain type of character.

Great place to work.  Most of my learning was taught from this company. I started as analyst then became manager. I found the hardest part of the job was the owners didn't want feed back to help improve the company.
