Pros

You'll get a discount on their clothing for both Melanie Lyne and Laura brands.

Cons

You will be underpaid. You will be overworked. Their philosophy is 'Well, what's Reitman's is doing?' I heard this on a daily basis. They boast 'summer' hours... that you'll never be able to take because of your workload. Whatever HR tells you during the interview is not at all what the actual job is. Lots of nepotism, shaming and bullying. Was very glad to leave when I did. I had been there less than 6 months and had already racked up more than 1 month of lieu time. We were told by management that we HAD to work unpaid overtime. I checked with HR and they had to get back to me as they did not know whether that was legal to force employees to come in over the weekend. During my exit interview, HR brushed me off as not being a hard worker and that I was only leaving because I was not capable of working hard. They tried to shame me for finding an opportunity that was a better fit. OK. A manager mocked me once when they asked me an unexpected question while I was at my desk working on a deadline. She insinuated that I was mentally disabled. Kind of like how Trump mimicked the reporter.

Pros

Theyre responsible with the payments

Cons

What They offer It’s really different to what the company is. They’re really rude With employees, they are a company that changes staff all the time, they carry out mass layoffs without justification, the company is governed under a PCOS that does not help patients they only care about the money. They don't see people, they don't have ethics. Since you start they have you in the process with the risk of dismissal, the pressure of the bosses is very uncomfortable although the work is simple. If you are looking for something permanent, this is not your place
