Although a good place to work I find it is unorganized at time and as a customer I find it difficult to understand the signage for the sales.

Customer Satisfaction
Electronics Associate (Former Employee), Waterloo, ON –
Pros: friendly enviornment
Cons: bought by target
The pace can get very busy and the atmosphere is always energized. During an average day, our frontline staff will speak to dozens of different people who need help or information. It's a challenge and there is a lot to learn, but our employees thrive on being able to take the next request, provide the right assistance and be the trusted.

Fast-paced work environment with great employees
Cashier/Sales Associate (Current Employee), MontrĂ©al, QC –
A typical day at work would be dealing with the countless amount of customers, some rude while others were quite nice. Patience was a key asset at that workplace because as a cashier, you were constantly asked questions, and accused for incorrect prices. The hardest part of that job was probably the customers because when you would get a really rude – more...  customer at your cash, you would need to put your customer service skills ahead of your temper, and personality. However, the job was enjoyable when it came to the employees I worked with. We were somewhat like a big family because everyone looked out for each other and helped out when needed. – less

Fun work place
Cashier (Former Employee), Orillia, Ontario –
Pros: paid training, yearly bonuses.
Cons: part time hours, wages.
A typical day at Zellers for me would be going to work getting the cash registers ready for the day, assinging cashiers to there work areas, doing voids and refunds, and of course providing excellent customer service to our valued customers. I learned good customer service skills. I got along great with all my co-workers, they were all great to work – more...  with there. The hardest part of my job was learning the service desk and the rewards program that they offer. The management were great they would help you with any concerns you had. I really enjoyed my job there, and working with the staff and making friends there. Zellers was a great place to work. – less

Good job, I keep very busy every day
Fashion Specialist for the Childrens Department (Current Employee), Abbotsford, BC –
Pros: having great people to work with, being busy
Cons: not enough people on a shift, no fitting room person
A typical day at work involves Customer Service in half of the store including 6 departments in Fashion, signing for the weekly ad, merchandising, maps, cash, fitting rooms, supervising others, cleaning (folding clothes, picking up clothes)
I have learned how to maintain a department (kids clothing, luggage)
I love everybody I work with, we always have – more...  fun
The hardest part of the job is not having enough employees to get the jobs done.
I love being able to move around and have a responsibility eg. making sure my stock gets out and my maps get done on time, and the weekly ad gets all done on Thursdays (best day of the week) – less

All employees were proud to apart of the Zellers team.
The manager cared for the employees well being.
Everyone worked together as a team.
The most important this is knowing that I worked for a Canadian company.

Sales associate (Current Employee), Fredericton, NB –
Although there were some amazing employees working there who I thoroughly enjoyed working beside, the overall staff made it hard to keep optimistic. Not only was I getting attitude from certain supervisors, but I was also getting staff who are at the same level in the store as I was. The manager was amazing, but the supervisors under him darkened the – more...  place a great deal. – less
