      Pros

      Flexable hours. Easy work and everyone is hardworking & has a good time Management

      Cons

      They have all kinds of reasons why what they are doing is not unusual or cruel and rotten. It's not their fault. But by the time you have put in 90 days--after your initial training days

      Advice to Management

      Continue to communicate your vision of the future and how everyone on the company plays a role

      Pros

      A great community of supportive staff members to help you achieve your sales goals and clothing discount, duh!

      Cons

      Without a strong personality, it is easy to get discouraged if your sales are not as high as others because you lose out on hours.

      I have been working at Aritzia

      Pros

      Have had the pleasure to work with some inspiring people with a similar work ethic to my own. Have made every lasting friendships. Have learned some skills that would translate at other jobs.

      Cons

      The culture is horrific. Forced to rate staff with a number scale based on appearance. Upper management does not listen to staff. Communication is all over the place. Nothing is ever good enough. Unfair promotion and wages, a friend of mine was offered a giant salary (almost double my own) with no experience or tenure; purely based on what she looked like. Gross!

      Advice to Management

      No advice as you wouldn’t listen anyways!
