Ardene Careers and Employment

Working here is fun and not a terrible job . Can be repetitive at times but overall not bad . One of the downsides is no benefits unless you’re a manager . Positives is the work life balance is really good .

Great coworkers, terrible company

Grateful for all the friends I’ve made while working here but it’s not a place to advance your career. Only good for part timers who want to make some extra cash on the side. Job is easy, folding clothes, customer service checking out etc. I had a lot of crazy customers while working here. Quality of their goods is very cheap, received a lot of customer complaints. Upper management doesn’t care about anything else except money of course it is the same with any other big company. Would never work for this company again!

Horrible management!

Management is horrible and they play favorites they are very unfair to staff. Same goes for HR. I wouldn’t recommend working here the only good thing was store discount and some staff. They also pile on a work load that isn’t fair to the amount your being paid for.

Stressful, overly competitive, favouritism

Fast-paced retail jobs aren’t the dream but this job could have been so much better with a more professional and organized environment. So often my coworkers would be subject to childish gossip and drama which was impossible to stay out of when management gossips about every move made by employees, in and out of work. Prepare to have your mental health/medical history and personal life either disregarded or used against you if you veer off of management’s “good side”. All of this on top of the already existing dysfunction the company seems to operate on which made the tasks I actually found rewarding nearly impossible to do well. I almost never called in, but would be guilt tripped and had to spend money multiple times for doctors notes to prove the reason for the day off (unless you were a favourite it didn’t really seem to matter, otherwise you’re fired). For entry-level retail, not worth the stress and feeling of judgement. Definitely like high school.

Typical retail experience, keep expectations low

Worked here part-time for 3 years while in school, most employees were in a similar situation so they were pretty good with accommodating everyone's schedule. There's no commission and you get paid minimum. "Break" room is not comfortable.
