A decent entry level job
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Langley, BC – 13 February 2019
Great for people who enjoy working with the public and enjoy fashion and trends. Staff and management were very easy going and easy to work with. I enjoyed working here.
Pros
Great discounts
Cons
Work weekends
Productive and engaging workplace
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 16 February 2019
A day at Ardene would consist of helping costumers and fellow employees. I learned to express myself and be more open to talking with others. The management was very helpful in making my job experience fun and engaging.
Terrible environment
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Salmon Arm, BC – 14 February 2019
I worked at Ardene for 7 months before management decided to lay everybody off a week before Christmas. Management in general is terrible — the assistant manager and manager are best buddies in and outside of work and would always team up to belittle me. Never felt like the work I did was enough even when I went above and beyond. District manager was equally as awful — gave me vague, insincere answers whenever I had inquiries. This company truly does not care about the livelihood of their employees.
Pros
Discounts, that’s it.
Cons
Inconsistent management, rude management, environment similar to that of a high school hallway.
Really great work enviroment, super friendly girls
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Halifax, NS – 9 February 2019

Good work environment
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 6 February 2019

Pros
Flexibility

Busy Christmas season - mall closes late
Good overall job but super unorganized
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Salmon Arm, BC – 4 February 2019
I enjoy working here. Friendly staff, good work environment but management isn't the greatest and overall they seem super unorganized. a few staff members had no shifts for a couple weeks causing them to quit.
great co-workers but management was tricky
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – North Vancouver, BC – 4 February 2019
great first job to gain experience, amazing co-workers, and nice customers. management is okay, but overall a good place. Great during busy periods, but slow periods can be difficult.

Not good
part time sales associate in Sault Ste. Marie (Former Employee) – Sault Ste. Marie, ON – 4 February 2019
Manager had favourites and treated the rest of the employees unfair. The manager broke alot of rules and when workers went to DM, the DM did not care and allowed it to keep happening.
Bonne entreprise
Assistante-gérante (Current Employee) – Beloeil, QC – 3 February 2019
L'entreprise est là pour ses employés. Nous sommes bien rémunérés. Par contre, nos horaires changent souvent car nous devons souvent couper les heures en fonctions du budget d'heures par rapport aux chiffres que nous avons fait.
Pros
Bonne ambiance de travail, bon patron
Cons
Trop de commande selon le volume du magasin
Poor Management, high staff turnover
Key Holder/Sales Associate (Former Employee) – St. Albert, AB – 2 February 2019
Although a very popular store and always busy, it was very poorly managed. I noticed some employees being favored over others and also witnessed the mistreatment of some employees. Customers also noticed mistreatment and verbal abuse and commented on what a terrible place it must be to work. Staff were walking out on a weekly basis, they have difficulty keeping staff and even though I was a key holder, I also chose to leave.
Pros
Customer Service
Cons
Poor Management, mistreatment of staff
Ambiance et équipe agréable, compagnie demandante
Associée aux ventes (Former Employee) – Mascouche, QC – 29 January 2019
Ardene Co. demande de constants changements marketings et visuels, souvent excessivement compliqués et donne très peu de temps pour accomplir ces changements. J'ai vécu une mauvaise expérience de gestion qui a résulté en ma démission de la compagnie. Ce qui me manque le plus est mon équipe de travail, qui sont devenues des amies plutôt que des collègues.
The most annoying thing about this job.
Third Key Holder (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 January 2019
Im currently a third key holder and the amount of work that I do and the amount of paid/hours I get does not match up. Management isn't helpful all neither.
Pros
Amazing team
Cons
Not enough paid for amount of work I do.
Fun, productive , safe environment
Mapleview Ave - Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 20 January 2019
Loved working there. i could not have asked for a better experience.I have learned a lot working there. i learned how to deal with customers and how to work in a fast paste environment.
Pros
Great co-workers, good hours
Cons
Na
Thank god for my co-workers
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Nanaimo, BC – 18 January 2019
I love working because of my co-workers. They make the terribly rude middle aged soccer moms tolerable. The discount genuinely sucks and is never worth it. I think some of the dress code policies are ridiculous and I generally hate the store aesthetic.
Pros
Making wall and window displays
Cons
Working in a mall
productive!
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Vernon, BC – 9 January 2019
I always had something to do! i loved working there because I was constantly moving around the store. I definitely loved working there because the styles were awesome and could fit anyone!
Pros
safe environment
