On the Job Training

I have been working in a specialty store in Montreal where we sell different construction products for the past year. My tasks are to manage the store, to take care of product quality and to prepare orders. I also train trainees the ins-and-outs of how to use the cash register, scan inventory, help employees without bias, etc. The drawback is that the OJT usually lasts around 1 week and the wage is lower than the usual wage. This drawback is mandatory to make sure that the trainee understands the tasks to mitigate mistakes. After the training, the trainees become employees and are given tasks to accomplish around the store like answering the phone, taking inventory, cleaning the department, etc. Senior employees are given management tasks like working the cash register, preparing orders, helping clients with their products, etc.
