MEC is more than a store. We’re a hub for the outdoor community, a leader in sustainability, and a place where you can be yourself. People come to us to try new things and plan recent adventures – and as a Flexible store Advisor, you’ll be there to help make it all happen.

Members (what we call customers) visit us for gear and advice on hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, watersports, snowsports and travel. You’ll chat with people who are planning everything from dream trips to weekend getaways, and first-timers to outdoor experts. As a Flexible Store Advisor, you’ll make MEC a great place to visit.

You’ll help in other ways too, like visual merchandising or lending a hand to other staffers, and you’ll also have a chance to grow and try new things. If you love the outdoors, learning about gear and connecting with people, this is the role for you. Chat with members about products and connect them with what they’re looking for.

Share product knowledge and industry-leading advice on gear, including your personal recommendations. Be part of a team of staffers who takes pride in keeping the store in tip-top shape. Help behind the scenes to organize inventory and get members the products they need.

Above all, help more people in Canada get active outside,



whether that means planning for a family camping trip or a massive backcountry expedition. You’re passionate about the outdoors. Product knowledge in camping, cycling, packs or any other outdoor activity is a great asset.

You want to connect people with quality products to encourage active outdoor lives. Your skill set includes personal integrity and awareness, customer focus, initiative and character, teamwork and the ability to develop yourself and others. You have a good natured, outgoing welcoming vibe and genuinely like helping people.

Customer service is not just your skill, it’s your mindset. Previous retail or customer service experience is a plus, not a must. You’re curious about gear and want to learn more – we’ll provide training to build your skills.

Fully open availability to work Saturdays or Sundays. Bonus points if you’re also available to work a variety of shifts between Monday and Friday, 7:00am and 9:00pm. Competitive hourly rate and clear pay increase program.

Discounts on gear for pretty much every outdoor activity out there – including bikes, and much more. Paid time off each year to enjoy an outdoor activity of your choice. Opportunities to join outdoor excursions with other MEC staffers.

Training and product knowledge.
