• Not the best work environment. Double standards from management. My main manager was in the store maybe.. 4-3 days a week taking advantage of his position but part timers would be in 5 days a week.Not overly accommodating towards disabled employees even though they are supposed to be!. They over worked me to my breaking point. I felt I had no choice but to leave. Just thinking about my time there stresses me out.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• It was a HORRIBLE experience worst job ever! Lack of cohesive management. Exploitation of employees .Long hours and unfair scheduling. Blatant favoritism. I am sure that other Winners locations are managed properly but unfortunately not at the location I worked at.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• There was a lot of bullying by management and coworkers at this job. You have to work a lot of hours in order to qualify for benefits (and you can’t apply until you’ve worked there for a year) but it’s impossible to get that many hours from them.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• I have been working at Winners for 5 years now. I have applied countless times for full time positions. I work very hard and get a lot of recognition for my work. My yearly reviews are always glowing. I was very distraught when I found out the location I work at gave a full time position that I applied for to an employee who calls in sick constantly, goes home sick from being hung over throwing up at work, bullies other employees and will start a hate campaign against anyone she feels threatened by. I have completely lost all respect for the managers at this location. I would not recommend this company.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• I have worked at winners for the 3 months. Before I stepped through the doors, people often recognized that I worked hard and considered them before myself. I was often told about my kindness and people came to me for advice. But once I started working here all of that changed. Mangers started treating me like I had no value as a individual. I was just and still am just a means of getting work done so they can feel like they did something good. In all honesty they are very rude and lazy. They treat people like crap and let their frustration out on kind employees that I work with. The other day I confronted my mamager and said everything I felt and she could not handle the truth, thus walked away from me. It goes to show how unprofessional and rude that is. In all honesty, they are the worst managers, and more astonisgly, the worst of people. I'm not afraid to say anything that is true. My goal from this is that anybody that wants to work here; please do not. I'm telling you. These people are horrible with nasty intentions. If you are someone like me who can stand up for themselves than do it. But if you are someone quiet and very respectful then do not work here. Because these so called managers will step on you and use you. They are horrible.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Hello, I have been working part-time at winners for 6 years. I had ups and downs but overall I really enjoyed working there. I see that almost all the comments are negative, and I can understand why, but I also found that it depends on the store and the area. If it is a big and busy store, the job will be more stressfull, tasks difficult to accomplish and frustrated managers, in addition to wieird and unpleasant customers. In my store, the situation is different because it is a smaller store. It is nice to work there, customers are nice, the managers too. In general they are very sympathetic to employees facing difficult psychological situations, it is easy to change the schedule, and they understand that we do not have time to finish what they are asking. On the other hand, it is true that side benefits are awful (salary, 10% discount). What frustrated me most over the years, is that the decisions made by senior management must apply without discussing when our store does not fit with their idea or that it's just illogical. You can not really make decisions knowing what is best for our store, and it's frustrating. It also includes their unrealistic expectations regarding timing or very complex merchandising. But I have never been bullied because of that. They also take de time de thank us for our work and we laugh all the time.
  But ultimately, it's never boring, the work is varied, the people are friendly and it feels like a big family.

• Working there now for 2 years as MPC . At the beginning it seemed great. But since then I have been bullied, harassed, belittled by upper management and I am a coordinator. The part time staff get better acknowledgement then all the coordinators in our store, all 4 of us our under extreme scrutiny all the time. Workload is extremely heavy, alot expected in the hours you work. We are not to talk to each other about anything concerning work and are called on it if they see us talking. Managements open door policy works only when its in favor of them, other why it is used against you. Favoritism is a huge problem, if your not in the right click then your treated like your stupid.
  There is no couching your just expected to figure out what they want. No HR available to you when management talks to you. And first question HR ask have you talked to your managers, so if the problem is them that hard to handle. My work ethics are great and they can't deny it, but they don't like my tone. I seem to have no problems with 98% of staff have fun and laugh with them. But 2% are in the click and I am not so they make my life miserable. The upper management contradict things and each other continuously which is frustrating. I am looking for work else where but have to stay till then as I need the money to support my family. Would not recommend working for TJX take something else...   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• I have been working at Winners for almost a year. At first, I was excited since they boasted so much about how diverse, supportive, and great it is to work at Winners. I worked my butt off. I am one of the best cashiers (coordinates constantly tell me I'm great at my job), im one of few who know how to actually process clothes properly. When I get my yearly review, I only score satisfactory in everything! My raise was only 26 cents compared to my friend who worked there less than me and didn't know how to do all the positions I did got a 40 cent raise! Made me feel very disappointed. Like everything I've done went completely unrecognized. Management is TERRIBLE. If you make a mistake, they complete bully you to the point you are scared to tell them you've made a mistake. So much so that coworkers blame each other to not get in trouble. One of my managers is even kinda racist! He basically said that non-white workers are not good. He disgusts me. This guy also called a fellow associate ugly to her face. He acts like he has so much power and is so condescending to you. Customers are rude. Especially in the fitting rooms, they will dump their inside out clothes on you and walk away. I will be the only one processing in the fitting rooms with two full roll bars (because they don't train anyone how to do stuff) and when I call for help they say front line needs everyone. WAY too under staffed all the time. Working there is so suffocating. I just want to get out. They give you 6 hour and 45 minute shifts so they don't have to give you a 45 minute-UNPAID- for break. Absolutely ridiculous place. Employees come and go so quickly. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT WORK HERE!!!   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• This company is horrible to work for. They make you promises about advancement they never keep. They lie to you. They play favourites. I was told three times over the past year I would be trained for advancement but when the opportunity came I was passed over. Bad hours! Management does not communicate. If you're injured on the job they will use it against you!   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• By far the worst place to work at.
  
  Don't waste your time, they are a bunch of lying snakes. They give you 45 min break so they don't pay you full time hours. Make you come in for 3 hour shifts. No yearly raises and forget about being promoted. This place is a dump.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• I don't understand a lot of the bad reviews on here. not sure how anyone can have high expectations for a min wage/retail job. it's not the best place to work but it's not the worst. I've been working here a couple years and in that time seen ALOT of people quit/get fired...probably the same people that come here to complain. lazy people like that don't last long...but if your a good worker there is opportunity for advancement, either to become a coordinator or fulltime associeate.
  
  for the most part I like everyone I work with. I like most of the associates, coordinators, managers, and even the district manager is really nice.
  
  things i don't like is the scheduling is sometimes very weird, unless you are fulltime or coordinator youll be scheduled randomly making it very hard to plan your actual life outside of work. i also think management has an unrealistic view of some things. ex. the time standards for doing certain things are way out of wack...they actually time us or make up daily schedules and when we dont finish (we never do) they think were all bad workers because the time standard is lterally impossible to do (for everyone). and its annoying how they make us force our survey and loyalty cards on everyone, does anyone actually want these things???
  
  overall though it is a decent place to work, good people and theres always something to do. i hope i can get a better career soon but in the meantime im pretty happy here.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• I was forced by the supervisor after doing an intern here to get a job here and so I did, even though i didn't want to. It's been 2 years now and I'll ever do when I'm there is just fitting room and cash happens once in a life time,same with floor. I'd appreciate if I got the chance to be in various departments of the store. I get minimum wage paid, and only work once a week. I am a part-timer not a volunteer. The bag check has finally stopped, so no more feeling like a criminal. I can't take that Managers treat customers more better than the emplyees. Understaffed and over worked. I took a shift for a day of tomorrow but it was the day of, and had to cancel plans cause from my manager I took the shift despite the misleading detail I got from the giver, and then I was threatened that I would be written up for not coming, so I am taking that issue to the HR asap. other than that I feel the managers should be experienced ones, and ones coming from a well genuine background of good managerial skills.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Stay away at all cost!!! worst place to work ever! Managers are hypocrites, hours are shit, and salary is bad.... but the worst; the customers! they are the worst! leaving everything up and down, coffee cups, ice cream on the floor, kids screaming at the top of there lungs.... and it goes on and on.... they make us clean the toilet, lift heavy stuff, and we are not insured or unionized.

• I started working here recently; I figured it couldn't be any worse than working for a terrible supervisor at Zellers. Sadly, I was wrong.
  
  The managers are so condescending. At first they "train" you to do practically every job in the store...which involves very little actual instruction. I guess they expect you to remember absolutely everything the first day. They have the weirdest schedule. The hours are very inconsistent and you can be scheduled in almost any area (which is partly why it's so hard to get the hang of your job!!!) I'm still half-lost about what to do, but the manager somehow thinks it's my fault and that I'm a terrible employee. I try to work hard, tidy as much as I can, and be as useful as possible...but the place is so badly organized that I'm always scared I should be doing something else. If I ask the manager what he wants me to do, he just stares at me like I'm an idiot and then gives me an impossible task (e.g. trying to make "features" of clothing when we don't have 3+ of the same item). I'm basically forced either to do it incorrectly or not do it at all...in any case an hour later he gets mad at me for not being able to do the impossible task. It's a lose-lose situation all the time.
  
  It's funny because all the training manuals are like "It's ok to ask questions, and a few mistakes are expected at first!" Yeah, right.
  
  However, I think my store would be much better with different management. The coordinators are all really nice and good at their jobs. The other employees seem nice enough, too. But I just dread working with those managers every day. (And they wonder why they have such a high turnover)   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• This place is shit. I have worked for Winners for 2 years now and every day I feel like I am suffocating. My managers aren't all that bad except they can treat most employees like a piece of shit. My manager will tell me that I should wear make up, because she wants me to...No. I like my current position in the store but I do not like the pay. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Why you should work at another retail store instead of Winners:
  
  - 10% discounts... Really? For all the hard work we do? (You will be doing physically demanding tasks all day and won't be noticed for it)
  
  - Management works you like dogs, treats you like a robot
  
  - No sympathy for students, being sick or being emotionally distraught
  
  - Unorganized
  
  - Dusty, dry environment
  
  - Not worth working minimum wage for   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• There is a need for management training in basic supervision, sensitivity, respect, evaluation, etc.
