The store is fine, almost all of the employees are great but the owner is not fair to employees. I have a friend who has worked there for almost 4 years and has not received ONE raise! The store owner does not live up to his part of the contract...a raise after 500 hours. It's a shame that he treats the people who make him look good, like garbage by not acknowledging their work through a raise. He is going to lose one good employee who has been loyal to his store, almost never had a sick day, etc. I don't know if all store owners are like this but it's discusting.
The employees should pull together and create a union.
There is another employee at that store that has worked there over 10 years and is only making approximately $11 per hour.
Hello. It's retail. That's the wage where the margins are relatively low. Customers want low prices, so the wages are low. Go find a better paying job. Check out what the wages are across the ditch, U.S. Minimum wage is a lot less than Canada's.
Yeah, retail generally starts at minimum wage but most retail outlets also give their employees an annual increase at least. Don't tell me to go find a better paying job!! Did I say I worked there?? I don't need to check out wages across the ditch because I don't live or work there. That has nothing to do with wages here in Ontario. This is suppose to be a site that supports people who have one thing in common which is that they think Canadian Tire sucks!! Your response was useless and unsupportive. Have a good life! Respond if you want but I won't be reading it because I won't be back. You'll just be talking to yourself or posting out of vanity, to be noticed.
