Canadian Tire?

[masterballer]

Anyone here ever work or is currenty working at a Canadian Tire store in the GTA?

How much do you get paid per hour? how much do the warehouse workers get paid?

[bigfish-_-]

everyone starts out with 8$ an hour

[masterballer]

Even warehouse workers? because i heard that they are supposed to make more...

also do they make you sign something when you start?

[masterballer]

Also when they pay you arent they supposed to give me pay slip with hours worked and all that? they just gave me a regular cheque with no other info on it...im quiting that ****...store isnt run properly AT ALL

[hardcandy1911]

did u provide them with a SIN or not?

[masterballer]

No they didnt ask for ANYTHING...they just said your hired, start work tomorrow, THATS ALL...i keep asking for a login, a shirt, something to sign but nothing :confused: I got my pay check 5 days LATE and its not even a pay stub its just a regular check but from CRAPPY TIRE...thats it...im so pissed at them, this isnt how you hire someone...

They didnt even ask for my banking info so they can pay me, thats why my payment was late and after talking to the person in charge of pay checks she still didnt ask me to come in so she can take my banking info so i can get my pay ontime next time...

[bigfish-_-]

if ur a part time u will get pay 8$ an hour even for waerhouse

[masterballer]

no not that store...its not even the fact that they pay ****, its just all the other ****...if your gonna hire, hire properly...just wanted to know if its actually $8, thats a rip off for heavy labour...lool...i got paid $8 at blockbuster 2 years ago just for comparison...

[bigfish-_-]

yup Cdn tires is probably one of the worst retail to work for cuz their pay is so low, one guy i uses to work with made 8.75 after 3 years there

I use to work at a Canadian Tire... It was so poorly run, I told them I was booking off May to study for exams, then never went back. I'm told I was still schedualed on the Weekly board until July! haha, and not once a singe phone call.

Then I went back 9 months later hoping to receive my 13% employee discount (which I had to give them my receipts, then they'd cut a cheque and sum it up - They refused to give it to me because I missed a date when I was on vacation - amount over $200+)

I was paid $6.60 for over a year and a bit, then come raise time, I got .30 cents. Had to fight the store manager to get a raise.

They hire underage 14 year olds to push carts, cash under the table..

Owner, Store Manager, and all the Managers were highschool graduates/drop outs at best, the employees themselves are usually quite smart. The lady I worked with had a ****ing Bsc. in Photon something in Poland, cant do **** here.

Quit. Besides, as a company, though they have a large net asset, they have a large expense of debt owing and a large investment in stock, with a relatively low turnover com paired to other box stores of the like. They're financial services from what I've seen seem decent. Still wouldn't sink money in em, Home depot has way better products anyways, better people.

Most Canadian tires are operated solely by an army of kids during peak shopping times, They don't give a **** to help no body.

Terrible place.

[masterballer]

I agree. Also the age gap between the employees are just too great, like 15 y.o. working with 21 y.o. Although I know alot of the time, they work together just fine. In my friend's case, too fine. But I have heard that most of the time, they were have real difficulties working with one another.

LOL, just don't fall in love with these 14-15 year old girls like somebody I know from my high school (21 now) :lol: :lol: :lol:

if you need to work right beside someone who is the same age as you, or you can't do the job, the problem is you, not the job.
"they made him work with someone who was SIX years older than him! omg!"
lol
In life, you're going to have to work with some ******* you hate who's 55 years old at some point or another.
so CT wont let you work side by side with all your pals? lol
suck it up.

Somebody who's 21 will very likely be able to work with somebody who is 27 years old (a six year gap). It is the fact that one of the parties is still 15, widely considered to be still "immature".

yea but i was working in a warehouse, what if something happened to me while i was at work? there would be no record or anything and they can deny me working there...i quit anyways but they shouldnt treat people like that, some people might not know and just go along with it but when something happens they get ****ed
