Coming into Canusa APC Head Office every day has been amazing. I get to see new faces daily, I get to see the amazing staff here and I'm always learning something new.

At Canusa, there is never a dull moment nor a repetitive routine. Every day (for me at least), is a new, fun and exciting challenge within my day to day work and routine. The challenges in my work and daily routine keeps things exciting. I find when there is always a repetitive nature, it create a bore; however, at Canusa, there is always something to look forward to.

Every one at Canusa is very welcoming, kind and are eager to help you. I find that the more you get to know the staff, the easier your daily tasks become. The most enjoyable part of my job is the fact that I get to interact via face-to-face and over the phone with customers/clients.

I would say the hardest part of my job would be to keep up with the dates that paperwork are due; however, once you've got into the swing-of-things, the daily challenges get easier and you get to understand your own routine.

As you'll see from others, the management system and managers leave much to be desired.
In my experience there was no communication about any performance issues, just an out of the blue firing.

You can greet customers with a smile, be happy and positive in person and over the phone, do what's asked of you and still be told you aren't "motivated" and fired, without any previous talks or issues being brought to light. 

If you need time for your family, or God forbid your children have doctors appointments, don't expect to be allowed to take any time, auto parts are more important.

The benefits the company offers are excellent if you last long enough to be able to use them, there are plus sides to working at APC, if you get a management team that can communicate issues with their employees. 

Every other job the managers talk to their employees to express issues or concerns, very disappointed that this isn't how things are handled here.

Half an hour lunches, 9-10 hour days, 5-6 days a week. Boomer culture haven. Stuck in the 80's tech and procedure wise. No balance, no regard for mental health and litany of frivolous sales protocol that serve only to justify absentee area managers jobs. Absolute horror show in terms of sales process and culture. They have a decent dispatching process but that's really the only thing keeping their business model viable. Won't even touch on the various boomer "branch managers". I wouldn't wish working there on my worst enemy. 

Bring up all commonly used internet sights used throughout the day.Make sure all staff is ready for start up of business day,talk to staff about any customers that need to be taken care of first thing,and get day started.The hardest part of the job is to keep all customers happy do to the variety of different jobbers that all want to be taken care of first.The most enjoyable part of the job is the team comrodery of the the people you work with.

A standard day involves not stopping from the moment you punch in, till the moment you leave. You will be expected to train yourself, and don't expect to get any brakes.

The 2 elderly managers who run the front have sour personalities, ans make for a very hostile environment for employees and customers

You enjoy working somewhere clean this is not the place for you there's zero organization and I'm pretty sure I was the first person to ever touch the broom.

I'm hindsight I regretted accepting this position immensely, and went back to my old employer

Busy and always had a lot of various jobs. Learned about the different automotive parts and what they were for. management was very helpful with teaching me the new aspects of the job. I enjoyed and got along with everyone. The hardest part was making sure the trucks got out on time. I really enjoyed working with my co-workers they were very pleasant and helpful.

It’s a ok place to work for depends on who you’re store managers is I was lucky to have a great one but at the end of day you’re just a number to them they just care about a profit and not your mental well being or financial struggles and won’t help you either but yea great job with the right store manager guiding you and showing you what to do pay was subpar 3 years in to get what a employee started a month later when I first stated so good trade off
