Pros
• You get experience working here. • They hire just about anyone even if you have no prior work experience. • A vp will even offer you to work here if you’re “pretty”. • Discount • Able to make friendships with the other individuals that point out the toxicity. • Be the “teachers pet” to the store manager and you’ll get promoted.
Cons
• Toxic workplace drama. • Aritzia is all about “being accountable” — there is ZERO accountability taken here. • There is definitely a hierarchy and you feel it. • At least 80% of current employees want to quit. • Managers will gossip amongst each other about other employees, sometimes based on their looks or how they dress. • Half of the things don’t get done by managers or get passed off to lower level employees simply because they wasted all their time gossiping. • The most hypocritical workplace I’ve seen. • You can at times feel forced to do things for managers or tasks that aren’t in your job description whatsoever, or have nothing to do with Aritzia. • Senior Store Manager will make comments to you based on your looks…sometimes even inappropriate remarks about your b*tt/body. • You will get pitted against other employees by management. • Constant micromanagement. • Passive aggressive comments from managers. • Management will put on a very fake attitude and demeanor anytime there are visits in the store by higher-ups. • A high ranking manager can push other managers to make lies up or embellish the truth negatively about you, simply because they don’t like you.
