Shoppers

Typical day: Count cash, sign into till, ring customers in, organize and "face" shelves", nice regulars to talk to, clean work area.

What I learned: How to count cash super fast, interacting and remembering customers better, multi-task.

Management: super young or a bit rough around the corners but super nice and professional. Wish they would help and let old staff about opportunities that are open to carry their job position further.

Hardest part: Cold drinks to put away, holiday season, and being agreeable with your management, sometimes asking for donations to charities--super uncomfortable.

Enjoyments in the job: The regulars are always so nice, getting a 30% discount on non-discounted items and food, really kind supervisors, cool promotions we can take part in and talk to the customers about.
There is probably more, but I can't think of them right now.

A typical day at work involved completing assigned tasks, helping team members when needed, and learning new processes. I learned how to work more efficiently, communicate with colleagues, and handle responsibilities in a professional environment.

Management was generally supportive and willing to answer questions when help was needed. The workplace culture was respectful and team-oriented, which made it easier to collaborate with others.

The hardest part of the job was adjusting to new tasks at the beginning and managing time effectively during busy periods. The most enjoyable part of the job was gaining new skills, working with supportive coworkers, and seeing progress in my work over time.

Shoppers is a great place to work if you are looking to be in the retail/costumer service. The people at the location I worked at are great and very welcoming. overall I think shoppers was a great place to work. If you are becoming a cosmetician to do makeup unfortunately it wont be what you expected because the main goal is to sell, but if that is what you are looking for shoppers will be great for you. and if not just keep that in mind when applying to work there.

Fast pace,numerous emergencies that are extremely time sensitive.
Learned how to work well under pressure.
Management   very supportive.
Co-workers always ready and willing to assist if needed
maintaining the work load while ensuring that all the emergencies as well as pre-booked appointments are addressed.
The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that you have the support  as well as the tools to ensure that every customer experience is a positive one.  It is a real sense of accomplishment when you have a satisfied customer.

a typical day for me would be working on a afternoon shift 5-12 some days and i would often put the product away when i wasn't busy dealing with the customers and at 11 at night i would have to clean up at where i was like cleaning the cash area i was at and the supervisor till area behind the cash and clean the garbage at where i was and the olg garbage. on every thursdays it was 20% off for seniors

The other staff members were really nice and considerate. They were very friendly to work with and super helpful. I worked there a short time and was really sad to leave. But an opportunity crossed my path to further my education and working while going back to school was too hard on myself and my son. I would go back to working here in a heartbeat. Shoppers is a great place to work.

i am working their almost sundays and saturday but its not  fixed
i got good experience in customer service
they have good management
my co-workers are very nice and cooperative
i enjoy my work and never get hard time
i always enjoy  when i deal with customers

A typical day at Shoppers Drug Mart is an amazing day.
What i learned was how to bring stock out and how to use a UPC scanner.  The management was great. The hardest part of the job was only being there for 4 months. My most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know each other and helping customers find their needs

They do a lot of prescriptions and I feel paid like a corporation rather a pharmacy who cares about my well being. Good starting point for a pharmacy but hard not to look elsewhere for more lucrative pay.

All in all, a very quiet location and not busy at all, the only difficult part of this position was trying to keep sales up. The employees are all very friendly and I make friends very quickly.
