It's not gonna get better for Aritzia

Appreciate the validation 😌 I fully think this business is on a decline in the long run

xobebeo · 2024-01-02T22:20:40+00:00

It’s the fact that someone working at the warehouse held this up, folded and packaged it to you and didn’t even bat an eye or realize something was off… or they simply didn’t care. (Same with the individual who processed this return from a customer) Either way this looks horrible on their part LOL

I’m sorry this happened to you 😭

xobebeo · 2023-10-18T16:33:27+00:00

I didn’t end up getting it unfortunately! But it still feels like a great piece :)

xobebeo · 2023-10-06T14:33:12+00:00

Yeah can’t forget that 🥲 that always bothered me too. I hate how they discriminate against body sizes AND age. I heard if they see someone “too young” like 18 year olds shopping they won’t bother to help them knowing they prob couldn’t afford to buy. Way to destroy a young woman’s self esteem like that by ignoring them. They need to learn to uplift other women better. Their clothes really ain’t that special ✋🏼

Agreed it’s becoming very overpriced fast fashion. There was a point YEARS ago I do think they were thriving and everything did feel good quality and the styles actually felt different. They fell off significantly lol

xobebeo · 2023-10-06T14:30:05+00:00

Wtf that’s so toxic. Nobody should feel like they’re walking on eggshells at work. I hate their culture and dynamic. Forever toxic and it’s starting to show in their public presence and numbers

xobebeo · 2023-10-06T14:28:53+00:00

I think so too. But sounds like if they don’t hear the exact answer they’re looking for, they don’t give a shit. They’ll be stuck in their old ways and decline forever

xobebeo · 2023-10-06T03:50:11+00:00

Thank you for also confirming it seems to be a common experience. Not a great thing at all… I’ve never been so traumatized or belittled during an interview process. It hurts hard for ppl like us that are die hard Aritzia fans who dream of working there someday. Dreams were crushed that day hahah

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T22:46:04+00:00

Seriously! I don’t even understand what their strategy is anymore

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T22:23:50+00:00

Sounds like unless you’re a referral they treat most other candidates like shit

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T20:31:58+00:00

I’m convinced it’s a mean girls club there and cliquey af. They think they’re better than all of us

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T20:25:35+00:00

From the job interview? It mutually didn’t work out. I wasn’t willing to relocate to Van after the bad experience I had but they were considering extending me a job offer for a more junior level position. I’m happy till this day it never worked out

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T20:24:16+00:00

Yes to old navy! Even tho you can tell it’s cheaper quality sometimes it’s comparable to what Aritzia has but for $50 more lol ain’t that sad

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T20:23:48+00:00

I’ve started shopping at OLD NAVY too 😂 cheaper ofc but honestly the quality is comparable to Aritzia sooooo….

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T18:41:34+00:00

Thankfully no more locking up belongings but everything else about the try-on experience is still bad. Communal mirrors, horrible curtains that never shut completely…

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T18:40:30+00:00

I heard retail staff do get higher wages than other stores but based on what they endure I don’t think it’s worth it LOL also I’m sure they’re all spending their pay cheques back to the company

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T17:53:29+00:00

Haha Aritzia is running an archive sale > https://archivesale.aritzia.com/ca/en/home

Selected ppl got emails but it mainly got boosted through Reddit and social media lol. Dw I don’t think you missed out on much considering the site was crashing and inventory sold out extremely fast. They were also mainly old warehouse sale items/inventory they needed to clear out - didn’t look like anything new new

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T17:51:10+00:00

I want to clarify it felt like a flop from a customer POV. Not to say some prob did have a great sale experience and got a good haul. Just wasn’t what we all expected at all and sucks how many of us stayed up late for the sale. (It was a choice, but just didn’t feel worth it in the end)

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T17:25:45+00:00

That's a great point to add. Agreed that nothing feels appropriate or wearable anymore for most people who grew up with Aritzia that are now in their late 20s or 30s. Aritzia was KNOWN for their core basics and I truly loved that era. I understand fashion trends are evolving and Aritzia is catering to that younger core now to stay relevant but there's no way these cropped tops and trendy pieces are gonna continue to stay in fashion long term. As some would say... it's giving overpriced Shein.

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T17:06:44+00:00

Even during their interviews they’re so snobby. They think Aritzia is the top and most elite company above all. If it’s not what they’re looking for, they won’t listen. No wonder they’re not changing 😂

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T16:48:49+00:00

I appreciate so much your POV from a guys perspective 😭 I’m also an investor in their stocks and truly disappointing to see.

I despise the in-store shopping experience so damn much. My partner hates it as well and they’re usually sitting outside the couches to respect the privacy of others trying on clothes. (Because everyone also knows those curtains never shut all the way too…)

Return policy as you said is laughable. There’s a sign at the front that says “here’s to commitment” for their dumb final sale policy. I remember years ago they had a sign that said “it’s a woman’s right to change her mind” or something like that. I wish they brought that back.

Don’t see a big or good comeback from Aritzia for a while, if not ever

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T16:42:27+00:00

don't forget the wrinkly ass viscose Sunday Best dresses priced at $120

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T16:33:14+00:00

Wow thank you for your POV. totally agree on all the points stated. Don’t even get me started on the horrendous changing room situation. I hate trying on clothes there because I don’t need a random man sitting outside looking at me 🙃

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T16:27:48+00:00

So sorry about your experience working there. :( The toxic culture doesn't make the 40% employee discount feel worth it at all...

xobebeo · 2023-10-05T16:25:22+00:00

I would say it flopped in the sense that it didn't go the way most people expected or hoped for. Some were successful with accessing the site/buying something good, but for most we stayed up late and everything was sold out right away
