Concierge Advisor/Customer Service Representative - Concierge Advisor Aritzia Employee Review

- Great team of girls to work with

- Quite boring during quiet hours - Discount for boutique associates isn't the same as sales associates

- competitive pay/higher than average pay - holiday pay/incentives - employee discounts

If you are offered an interview, your personality and attractiveness will matter more than your previous work experience. I came into the company with 5+ years of retail sales experience just to be constantly told that I was not ready to sell on the floor. If you decide to work here, just be prepared to be judged based off your looks 24/7, (and yes, if you’re a shopper, you’re 100% being judged as well.) As an employee, you will constantly need to keep track of your performance, and your numbers will be posted for all employees to see. This creates a very competitive and disingenuous work environment. It can get hostile. If you are just starting off, or at the bottom, management will work you to death and dangle better shifts or promotions over your head for you to prove yourself, just to turn around and outsource hire to fill the position, or not guarantee your scheduled hours. If you are injured on the job, disabled, become pregnant, or experience loss, I would just start looking for another job because they will not accommodate you, and will slowly phase you out and off of the schedule (even if you’ve been with the company for years). It feels like working at a sorority or being a part of a high school clique full of mean girls competing in a make-believe popularity contest. If you don’t subscribe to the cliquey-ness, be mentally prepared to be ostracized and left out of social events. And this is me barely scratching the surface when it comes to cons.
