SHOPPERS DRUG MART Employer Reviews

Was able to learn about merchandising as well as occasional cashier tasks that were given to me. Friendly environment to work in and very flexible. Had tasks and challenges that I was able to conquer myself and some with the support of my supervisors who are always willing to help

A typical day at Shoppers Drug Mart is a balance between fun and work. The work environment is very calming, and yet focused when it needs to be. My co-workers are all wonderful people, and together we form the team that makes the pharmacy work the way it does. I have learned many things while working there, including the importance of confidentiality, – more...  further problem solving, and the ability to work under high pressure. – less

It was doing the same stuff every day. I learn how to help poeple with things and became more about the poeple then my own person. My Manager was very nice and kind and was very helpful. My co-works were nice but sometimes not to nice. The hardest part of a day was when custmores were mean and not very nice to me when i am trying to help them. My most – more...  enjoyable psrt of my day is when it is home time and when i great a thank you from a person when i finish helping them – less

I started working over there as a merchandiser and after one week after looking at my work my manager said he is going to train me as a back up reciever because there reciever was going for break next week. i got many new things to learn from there.

The staff were fun and great to be around. However, a majority of the customers were not as fun and were often rude to an unwanted degree. This was not true for all the customers however, as some of them were great people who, despite having a bad day, realized that everyone around you does not need to share thier feelings. The supervisors were great – more...  at teaching me everything I needed to know, however, the more than rude customers made the learning process very hard. I would recommend a already experienced person, or someone who can take insults and rude behavior, and reply "Have a nice day!" – less

Great place to work fair wage and opportunity for growth and development . Only on a 6 month contact now.

The day includes balancing cash from the previous day, maintaining payroll, supervising staff, opening or closing store, creating orders, putting out stock, dealing with customer issues.

Working at Shoppers was a great experience. The people were great, managment was great and the customers were friendly and kind.

Learning about the everything in the Pharmacy, and assisting around
with all the requirements.

There were busy days and casual days, but never a dull moment. It was a good feeling to have when duty called.

The Shoppers Drug Mart I worked at was environmentally friendly and social, kept the atmosphere light and respecful.

I learned that you must at all times be present within a customer's field of vision. It's important to show that you are – more...  always there to assist them whenever they have any questions.

As much as there were busy days, everyone, including myself, were able to handle the pressure. Sometimes, one of us would need some assistance and gladly, teamwork was never a let down. There was always time to help each other.

There were times when I'd have more than 3 tasks to do and that was probably the most difficult part about my previous job.

I mainly enjoyed the people who worked at Shoppers Drug Mart because we knew when it was time to work and to talk. We understood what was need to be done first. Also, we treated each other like family, even if it was just for 2 months. – less

Shoppers Drug Mart was a very nice place to work, which is why i decided to stay there for more than 3 years. A typical day at work i would replenish empty shelves, answer customer service questions and unload delivered products. My management team was very helpful and understanding to all their employees. My co-workers were very productive and diverse. – more...  The hardest part of the job was trying to balance long hours with school. Which will no longer be a problem because i switched to part-time school. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing your job is secure as long as you are being productive which makes employees feel good. – less

A typical work day at Shoppers Drug Mart would be quiet unless their is a huge sale that is happening that week. Normally the weekends would be very busy and the normal shift would go by really fast. The coworkers are very friendly and enjoyable. The most important aspect of customer service is to be able to serve and provide excellent service to our – more...  customers and make them happy and make sure our inventory is always stocked before running out. – less

Slow paced, great employees. Learned management skills; scheduling, reconciling, productivity. Hardest part was lack of help within the store and dealing with in store tension being under staffed. Most enjoyable was boost of morale from some employees.

This company is truly a great place to work for. They are very fair and do everything to make your job awsome. They give you many tools so that you can become a better and more productive employee. All the education and support is truly wonderful. I think working for this company is truly wonderful. They are very fair and happy to help you if needed. – more...  My only wish is that I should have started working with them earlier. – less

HAS A GOOD FAMILY FEELING FOR SHOPPING, MANAGEMENT IS GREAT IN KEY AREAS
