Spareparts

Spareparts is a great Canadian, family owned company to work for! I love being able to connect with my community by connecting with ours guests and spending quality time on every single interaction. Within the store, it feels like a family and this is probably the most important thing to me when I choose a place of work. It really makes the biggest difference. Plus, that family feeling carries on out of our shop and all the way across Canada. I can speak to another Spareparts employee in Saskatchewan on the phone and make that same connection. 
Because Spareparts is growing a lot right now, there is never a stagnant or dull period of time in which you are not developing no matter what is going on shop level. Why would you want to work in a place that doesn't offer you a chance to challenge yourself and develop your skills?!  You are provided with all the support necessary in order to achieve this as upper management is much more available and accessible than typical retail environments which is a welcome change. 
As a whole, I feel that I have a voice - I can present my ideas knowing that I will be listened to and can affect change. Love this company!

I love this job and enjoy coming in to work everyday. My co workers and this company have become like a second family to me.  The second time I ever met the owner I went to throw him the handshake and he gave me a hug, and that's when I knew I would be with this company for a long time. You are not just an employee number here, you are a person and people take an interest in what makes you you!  They have helped to develop my skills in a supportive and encouraging way, never being negative and always building me up or showing me a better path.

Everyday there is new challenges or something else to learn, I never feel like my experience here is getting stagnant. The product knowledge I received was comprehensive and much more thorough than other retail stores I have worked at. I feel I was given the tools I needed to be successful. I was nervous in the beginning about having a 'sales goal' but the training walked me through everything from saying hello to the customer to closing the sale which really built up my confidence. 

Other than the great relationships Ive built being part of the Spareparts family, the free product you receive for company contests is a sweet perk ;)

To start: The online training was such a breeze, and the videos made it so much easier to learn! They cover every aspect from policies to dress code to product knowledge, and it made it such a great transition from training to actually working the floor. 

Right off the bat, I was welcomed in by my Regional Manager, who has become a huge asset and a friend! And at the end of opening my location, the Vice President gave me a hug (such a foreign concept to me) but it made me feel more like I'm a part of a family than just another employee. 

The product is amazing, the sales training is phenomenal, and this company truly is like a franchise: you're given all the opportunity to succeed, the rest is up to you. 

And an even added bonus: there's constantly contests going on where you can win free product, free trips, and more! Not to mention, the discount is unreal.

If you have the willingness to follow the training and sales steps, humility to learn from your mistakes and accept constructive criticism, and the ability to push yourself to become a great sales person, this company is a wonderful one to work for. Upper management is great. Always supportive and willing to help. Yes, it is a sales driven company, so it can be competitive which makes it not suitable to all people. But if you're good at your job, and showing improvement, the opportunity to advance is huge. Training is on-going and very thorough, and it's paid off a lot with all of the knowledge that I've gained. The best part of working for this company is knowing you're not just a number. Everyone knows everyone in this company, and your voice is heard when changes need to be made. I know I'll be with Spareparts for a long time.

Working at Spareparts has been one of the best experiences in my career, and seriously the best job I have ever had. 

A typical day at work involves getting to dress up, communicating with people all day, and getting to sell some amazing product. Since starting with Spareparts, everyday I learn something new, and everyday I meet awesome people. The staff here is extremely supportive and every person matters at Spareparts. No one goes unnoticed and upper management is great in making everyone feel like an important part of one big family.

Yes, the job is challenging and it requires hard work, but so does any job! If you work hard and put your mind to it, this could be one of the best paying jobs.

It's pretty clear that when as many people quit a company in such a short period of time as they have, that something is going on. This company is always hiring for almost every store, and it's because their employees hate working there. 

Managers are rude and aggressive, pay is processed improperly on almost a weekly basis, contest payouts take 2+ months to make it to you, you aren't allowed to go to the bathroom if you're working alone (which is most of the time because they don't want to pay to have you work with another human being for more than half of your shift) and so many many many other things. Please steer clear of this place

This company has all the potential to be amazing but higher management does not have anyone's best interest in mind but their own. The product is great, the customers are great, the staff is great but the stress level is too high for it to be enjoyable. No one is trusted to do their job and everything is very micromanaged. People gossip a lot which makes the job mentally draining and their is no real HR department to talk to. Again, this company has so much potential but issues that have nothing to do with customers and selling get in the way of  a positive business environment.

Store manager was never in the store

Coaching sessions were done through emails

No bathroom breaks when you worked by yourself

Never heard from manager unless you have awful sales.  Very snide remarks when you have great sales

Takes forever to finish your probation, as you have to have 350 selling hours, and not just the typical 90 days.

Just an awful place overall.  If you're lucky like I was to get amazing co-workers, then all the drama might be a bit more managable

The company is small which I appreciate because the owner knows all employees and managers by name. Competition in the work place is fierce and cut throat, sales come before anything. Not full time like they advertise I maybe get 20 hours  a week as a "full time employee". No 15/HR till you work 350 hours and it takes forever to get those hours because you never get full time.

A great place to work with friendly co-workers.
We are given budgets to make every day we work to meet. 
It can be intense and competitive when you have short shifts and you have to catch up with your personal budget of the week and try to accomplish your "gold star" budget for some added commission. 
The most enjoyable part of this job, is meeting customers and having long conversations about themselves or anything else.
