Okay for short-term, bad for long-term

Pros

Very flexible scheduling. No quota, job is straight forward. Convenient workplace with both bus and skytrain access. Food court is located on the 3rd floor for long breaks.

Cons

Minimum pay. Supervisors are very biased and like to berate and pick on newer hires. Gossip is common within staff and supervisors. If you are a cashier, expect to work nonstop. Can be a very hostile and unwelcoming work environment should you be picked on one of the supervisors. Expect to be judged and even yelled at should you make even the tiniest mistake. If you're applying to this job, you should be of Asian background. Most of the employees here primarily speak Chinese, and so do the customers. If you're not, well... I wouldn't be surprised if people gossiped about you a lot, or one of the supervisors nitpicking your every action.

Pros

- Cute merchandise - Flexible schedule - Generally nice coworkers

Cons

- Poor management - Both good and poor behaviour is overlooked and unrecognized - Workload is enormous and is expected to be done or managment or coworkers will bad mouth you - Management is not on employee side - Management is only looking to look good to higher ups, not interested in employees well being - Everyone hates it there but stay anyways - Poor pay - No chance for growth - Breaks are 1 hour and unpaid (waste of time)
