Great flexible health benefits. 100% retirement savings match after 1 year as a full-time. Aside from those items, any benefits can change with the tide of the present management. New manager doesn't want employees to work from home? Oh well. And team building events can be suspended indefinitely.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Unsure of how customers perceive this brand. Actually, if anything it seems to be well-liked as a staple in Canadian retail.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
On the same team, same job title some make 50% more than others. On the same team, non management level, different job titles, some more than double the salary of others. Also, raises are typically less than inflation, hovering between 1-2%.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
CYOA: Cover Your Own ### is a staple in the Canadian Tire dictionary of acronyms. Some coworkers are brilliant, collaborative, and genuinely great people. Most coworkers highly prioritize "blamestorming" and have internalized the company's culture of aversion to responsibility and risk taking.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Part of this brand's success despite major competition from US brands (Home Depot, Lowes) has been a certain risk aversion. In 2019 this attitude has entrenched a toxic "blamestorming" atmosphere. Projects that are months behind are no problem at all as long as there is a clearly defined scapegoat.
