Ok, I used to be either the Assistant Manager or the Manager for the following companies...

Sirens/Urban Planet Pacific Centre and Metro...yrs ago)-they will work you to death @ min. wage (they're the same company, if you didnt know and Stitches and Urban Behavior)

La Senza (Richmond)-pretty good company to work for if you're just pt or ft and not part of management

Nine West (Pacific Centre)-same as La Senza, pretty good company to work for if you're just pt or ft and not part of management

Dynamite (Metro)-same as La Senza and Nine West

I've known people who have worked for the following companies...

Armani Exchange (Robson)-didnt actually work for them but was recruited by them and they seemed like a pretty good company to work for as well. I just decided to change fields all together, thats why I didnt go with them.

Guess (Metro)-was recruited by them as well but they seemed VERY pressure sales, but overall seemed good...was going to go with them but ended up not working with them cause I got a raise after giving my employer at the time notice...lol.

Aritzia (Robson)-very high pressure for sales and VERY strict on the discount, to a point where they will go search the management's residence to see if they actually bought the item for themselves or for a friend (so I've heard, so don't quote me on this one)

La Senza Girl-same as La Senza

Payless (Metro)-VERY bad company to work and VERY straining on you, physically, will work you to death for alittle more than minimum wage

Aldo, Stoneridege, etc.-fine company if you're just doing sales

Bebe-had a girlfriend manage the Metrotown one and she really liked it

That's all I can think of right now, but if I remember anymore, I'll let you guys know...I hope this helps and good luck!!!
