Pros

-Great pay! I've worked in retail for over six years and this is the highest paying job I've ever had. The payscale is wonderful and the company is employee owned, so you get your share of the company stock, as well. -Amazing hours. I never have to work past 8 on weekdays or 6 on weekends (and most of the time I'm off even before that!). I feel comfortable asking for time off if I need it, and I know that if something important comes up in my personal life, my manager will have my back and allow me to take care of it. -GREAT coworkers! Everyone is friendly and supportive! Unlike other jobs I've worked in retail, BiMart employees show up everyday to work, help each other out, and have a fun day -- rather than gossip about each other or bring each other down. -BiMart values my previous experience in management and retail and allows me many opportunities to work in the different store departments and challenge myself every day.

Cons

-If you want a management position, you have to be able to relocate. I would love to apply for a management or even just a full time position (I have years of management experience), but unfortunately I cannot relocate so it's not possible. :(

Pros

Discount is great, cost+10% is really good especially on seasonal items that have a higher mark up.

Cons

The company is gutting their sales floors of labor and management and crew are facing the consequences, 21% down in stock valuation this year is insane. Customer service is first so if you tell a customer "no" or ask them to leave, you have to write a report about WHY you had to tell a customer no or to leave after they screamed in your face for 15 minutes about looking at video you can't release because they want to fire you for daring to ask a customer to leave the building. Unfortunately, this company is likely to go under in a couple years time. Last year it was 10% down, they reduced christmas bonuses and gave 30 cent raises, closed Cascade Farm & Outdoor and unannounced, they closed a Bi-Mart in Vancouver without any notice. Now it's 21% down, how many more people are losing their jobs before they fold entirely?
