The labour board needs to investigate this place. They have an unprecedented turnover rate and will fire you with no notice right before the holidays as they've done with entire departments before, but they'll be sure to inform your entire team before you are even made aware. On the "road," you only get breaks if there's time, despite standing for 12 hours straight. They will make you re-sign a part time contract despite promising you full time and benefits. A coworker of mine worked 50+ hour weeks without a raise or a full time contract. Workload is massive and unfair for $16/hr. They mostly hire young people that they can manipulate easily, especially for the shows. When 8 people phone in sick after teardown, there is obviously a core problem in the company but they just laughed. The owners create an extremely suppressive environment. They gaslight, victim blame, lie, gossip, lovebomb, micromanage, avoid reflection, and never take accountability. There is no diversity, safety or trust, but there is a constant fear of retribution. It makes you wonder why there's no HR department. They use fear as motivation as the rules only exist to keep us in line. They are microaggressive and expect workaholic behaviour but provide no opportunities of forward movement. There is immense leadership gossip and favouritism. Regular employees are not allowed boundaries. The owners are malicious and secretive. They insist on silence as employees are on a need to know basis. We are not to discuss wages, hour cuts, contracts, and/or red flags or we will be punished. They gossip about former employees and even harassed one and used it to blackmail them. They lie about pricing and overcharge people and expect us not to tell them, and they create fake sales for profit. They lie about unethical sourcing to customers and employees. They undermine serious health hazards on a daily basis. One coworkers hours were cut to one day a week after she claimed WCB when a product fell on her head causing a concussion, and another coworker got blood poisoning from their failure to explain the risks of lead-based minerals. The owners spend the majority of their time managing their ego over their vision, and personal interest always comes before collective good. They told us the store was losing money so they had to pay us out of their savings, but can afford to buy a house and a boat on Vancouver Island and a helicopter. They intentionally use unclear communication to cover their own disorganization and to place the blame elsewhere. These people need their business license revoked for abusing their entire workforce. Even the customers are beginning to notice their arrogance and disrespect whenever they meet them. I am truly disgusted with this company's practices and will rejoice when they are finally closed indefinitely.
