bad management, unstable working hours, toxic workplace
Very unstable, meaningless, and wasteful Part-time. Got a part-time job 1-2 months before the new store Toronto Eaton Centre opening. After the opening, the management started providing only half-day shifts, and you have to block the calendar for them anyway, at least 15 hours per week.
Even though you don’t get the chance to work. They overhired people for the opening only, after that they don’t provide the shift and people will leave eventually. The management level is a disaster and nonsense.
And then the part-time employees, in order to make a sale, just steal from each other, stab people in the back daily, in order to achieve the target, but the management doesn't handle all those situations well, just keeps pushing the part-time employees to do it.
The competition between the salespeople is definitely toxic. but eventually, the management level makes the working environment worse. They like to push the sale to get a Google review, but it seems they cannot get an honest one right now.
You have to achieve the sales target in order to have the shift, but the sales target is not even possible to achieve during low traffic. The management level dont respect part-time‘s time and effort. Use Nike's good name, but the retailor company‘s management is quite sucky and absurd. Totally unprofessional and completely stupid.
Kind of ruined the good impression of the Nike global brand. After the part-time job, definitely don’t want to buy and go to the Nike store in Toronto anymore.
Definitely not recommended to anyone who wants a part-time job. You would not be able to have the shift, money, and exposure. They are still hiring people in indeed, but a lot of people left and are leaving at the same time. The turnover rate is too high for retail.
Also, they like to cut the shift suddenly on a day when the traffic is low. The management level would thank you for your flexibility. The part-time is just for backup only, never a real job. The management has high expectations, but lower commitment and benefits for the part-time.
They said open and transparent communication is important, this is the most transparent and open communication they can ever get.
The opening was quite successful, but it seems to have been based on wasting a lot of part-time workers' time and money. Because the management never mentions what happened after the opening during the interview and hiring, the part-time is not necessary anymore and will be terminated/let them do the resignation
