Aritzia Employee Reviews about "opportunity"

Pros

Good opportunity to build multitasking skills and to learn how to work in a fast paced environment. Flexible with requesting vacation time (however this will depend on your manager too). The employee discount is pretty good as well.

Cons

Scheduling is based on how well you sell, which can be a bad thing since they don't take into consideration that those scheduled to close the store have a disadvantage since you can be there usually until an hour past close & that affects your total SPH, which later affects your weekly sales and chances are your hours will also decrease - yes, if you close once or twice a week thats no problem, but if its 4 times a week and your shifts are lets say 5-close you have a problem. Head office staff actually believe you can convince customers to spend 300+ when they come into the store with the intention of spending no more than half of that - and yes you can but realistically maybe 20% of the time. Your shifts will get cut completely or by a few hours if its slow in the store and you will be told "it's for your benefit" because you are saving your SPH. If you have rent to pay or just need a reliable job with steady hours then do not apply to Aritzia.
