Village des Valeurs - Avis

Overall not bad but the amount of work for the pay is not worth it. Extremely understaffed so you end up doing the work of three people. Only pays minimum wage but the work is easily worth $19.00 an hour.

Points positifs

Flexible hours

Points négatifs

Extremely hard labour

Recycler, Forklift Operator (Ancien employé) - Surrey, BC - 31 mai 2023

Excellent, if you want to go home covered in other people's filth for minimum wage.As a recycler, I spent much of the day sorting through clothing and items often left forgotten in moldy basements or storage containers. Skin rash or eye infection from contact with these items can occur, but only occasionally so. Wearing long sleeved shirts, safety goggles, and having a good supply of antihistamines at the ready should keep you out of trouble, especially in the hot summer months.Co-workers were great, as was my manager. The directives coming from higher up made for exciting working conditions, as expectations were always just beyond attainable, giving us more motivation to work harder toward the next failure.

Points positifs

Great co-workers, flexible scheduling

Points négatifs

What cons? Everything's a pro if you want it to be.

Hard work but nice coworkers

Production Worker (Employé actuel) - Barrie, ON - 30 mai 2023

Super physical on the body and mental stress due to time expectations but you basically get paid to workout and the staff are all super nice and they treat you like a human being and are super respectful and always try to help out when they can. Super reliable hours too.

Low Paying Hard Work

CDC Ambassador (Employé actuel) - Barrhaven, ON - 28 mai 2023

The only reason I stayed at this job is because of the people who I worked with. The people made this job a lot more fun that it really is. The management expects you to be trained in every department and work in the department that is the busiest at any time. This would be okay if you got paid anymore than the people who were only trained in one department however that is not the case. The management also does not want the employees to know that some of the employees get quarterly bonuses and the others don't. I miss the people but I am so glad I was able to leave.

Stressful, no upward mobility, high workload

Sales Clerk/Cashier (Ancien employé) - Orleans, ON - 27 mai 2023

It's like any other retailer, they'll put you in departments you don't want to be in because they're short staffed, no job safety, management does a poor job delegating. If youve done retail before you know what to expect, if you haven't you need to get good shoes because you're on your feet all day until your max half hour unpaid break and 15 minute paid break. GET A CHIROPRACTOR FIRST, YOULL NEED IT!As for the staff, a great deal of your coworkers are wonderful and will go above and beyond. Unfortunately not all supervisors are the same. Discounts for the store are mostly the only real benefit that any worker can use, since you have to be full time to be eligible for an insurance plan but will never have full time hours.

Points positifs

Discounts on all used items, coworkers are great

Points négatifs

Long hours, stressful, no work/life balance

Production

Production Line (Ancien employé) - Yorkton, SK - 27 mai 2023

Management is horrible and disrespectful. They don’t deserve the GOOD workers they do have. The pay is brutal, no incentives. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Points positifs

Production is Monday-Friday

Points négatifs

Horrible management, unorganised, short staff, favouritism

average job

Cashier (Ancien employé) - Thunder Bay, ON - 26 mai 2023

Coworkers were great but you often had to help the production team on top of doing your own job duties despite not being paid as much as them. Some customers were full of interesting stories.

Points positifs

discounts

Toxic work environment starts with upper management. Overwork all staff without a basic living wage for there efforts and work. High turn over rate.

N/A (Ancien employé) - Victoria, BC - 26 mai 2023

Toxic work environment starting with upper managements performance and attitude towards the rest of the staff members. Staff health and wellness mean almost nothing to them vs them being first in every corporate competition. Toxic upper management attitude towards any lower level staff members. Lower management is extremely underpaid for the amount of work they do. Rest of staff members are run ragged and paid terribly, yet this location makes millions a year. No room for advancement or personal/professional growth. High turn over rate. The people running this specific location ask everything from the staff members but refuse to pay them a living wage even though they pretend they do, and advertise that they do. Overtime pay is non existent. They had few staff members that worked for them for decades but would not give a slight raise, so they lost those staff due to the lack of appreciation for there loyalty and work for the company. There was another individual who worked here for decades, retired and recived a cart to carry things and a $50 gift card for there "service" to the company as appreciation. I hear it was disgraceful of them. They rather pay a basic minimum wage to as many people as possible and run them ragged until they quit and then they repeat the process. This shows a greater yearly profit for corporate which is more important to them. One reason for the high turn over. If you're looking for your PR or a long term supportive company that you can grow with. Stay Away. Save your time and consider something else that will respect you as a human and your value -

Okay

Cashier/Customer Service (Ancien employé) - Lethbridge, AB - 26 mai 2023

The customers make the job exhausting, especially seniors days. The workplace culture is not the best as many coworkers including supervisors would complain, making it hard to enjoy work.

Favortism

Production Worker (Ancien employé) - Thunder Bay, ON - 22 mai 2023

Many employees were treated better than others. Bullying by employees was accepted and acknowledged by Management and Supervisors. Management allowed supervisors to bully in order to get quotas reached and force unwanted employees to fail. It is a toxic environment.

Points positifs

None

Points négatifs

Long hours, lack of respect and acknowledgment

Productive, always something to do

Tagger roller (Employé actuel) - Vernon, BC - 17 mai 2023

Overall a great place to work. Out of their control but some of the customers are less than good. I always get feedback from supervisors so im always aware of how im doing. The best out of all my past jobs. I look forward to continuing working here.

Points positifs

Positive feedback, occasional free treats, staff games

Points négatifs

Location has some "interesting" customers

quite the experience.

Retail Associate (Ancien employé) - Barrie, ON - 15 mai 2023

it's fine. it's a weird mixture of great and friendly coworkers, and money-focused and "helicopter" management. they rope you in with tons of hours and good flexibility just to cut you dry and pass them off to the next person hired. production is largely unsafe and constantly chaotic -- they change their rules and policies just about daily. the front staff aren't as kind and can be passive aggressive.

Points positifs

cool people and nice discounts

Points négatifs

huge workloads and stress for minimum wage

Cyrville location is the most toxic one!

Sales Associate (Employé actuel) - Ottawa, ON - 15 mai 2023

I recently transferred from Merivale store to Cyrville store and I can tell the differences in the work environment between these two places. Cyrville is a small store, but with the most toxic co-workers, from the time I have been here people are leaving because of the treatment of the employees.

Fun workplace

Retail Sales Associate (Employé actuel) - Stoney Creek, ON - 13 mai 2023

The store is really cool, I love working there. Some customers are nice and friendly, some come to the store to steal and it is really upsetting. The discounts for team members make a difference, but we can buy something only after 48 on the sales floor. That's why we almost never get good things) The salary is minimal at the beginning and they review it once a year.

Points positifs

Discounts

Points négatifs

Salary; You can buy something only after 48 hours on the sales floor

Not supportive

Manager (Ancien employé) - Kitchener, ON - 11 mai 2023

The company will initially support you as long as you support them. Don't cross them, don't offer different opinions, don't speak your mind. Regardless, when they find you expendable, they will find a way to get rid of you. That's how Value Village works.

Points positifs

They used to have team member bonuses but not anymore

Points négatifs

Too many to list

Sad place to work

Production Worker (Employé actuel) - Greater Sudbury, ON - 11 mai 2023

You don't feel rewarded doing this work as it'd the same thing every day and you kind of feel like a robot. You are unappreciated because if you do good they just want more and there are no bonuses for team members only Management which makes them want to push you further.

Points positifs

Nonr

Points négatifs

Repetitive

Cheap place and don’t care so much for their employees

DONATION ATTENDANT/CASHIER (Ancien employé) - Kitchener, ON - 25 avril 2023

The pay was awful. I worked there for 10 years and was making minimum wage. The raises were cheap and the company doesn’t care about their employees. They always took the customers side and didn’t care so much about the employees even though most of the time the employee was right

Local Management is a Joke

Cashier (Ancien employé) - Sault Ste. Marie, ON - 23 avril 2023

Working at Value Village is a strange experience to say the least. Management is far too focused on cutting costs by pushing employees to cut corners and ignore safety concerns in the name of efficiency. On top of that, you'll be quickly introduced to the infinitely revolving door of new employees that receive an abundant number of hours for the first two weeks to hook them in before the Managers cut them to the bare minimum. Local management treats floor workers like trash aside from the occasional gem that cares about the team. Floor workers are replaceable at a days notice so they treat people as such, replaceable. I can't recommend working here.

Points positifs

Fantastic Co-Workers, Solid Discount

Points négatifs

Very awkward schedules, Lack of hours, Awful Local management

Dirty and bad managers

Retail Sales Associate (Ancien employé) - Vancouver, BC - 19 avril 2023

The store was so dusty and dirty, the break room was dirty as well. Hours were inconsistent sometimes, but easy to request time off and flexible hours. Customers were okay. Asked to do too much in too little time, assigned a different task at the beginning of each shift, and the different tasks were unfair and not equal at all. Managers pick favourites.

Points positifs

fast paced (not boring), flexible hours, easy to book time off

Points négatifs

dirty store, stressful work
