Pros

Great discount (50%) and super cute uniforms.

Cons

They went corporate halfway into me working with them, the old staff (tats, piercings and personality) was let go for generic minimum wage earning sales girls who all looked the same and were trained ONLY to push clients to buy. Very disappointing, they lost all of the flare and creative vision and managed to put the once happy staff against each other with unrealistic sales goals.

Thank you for your feedback. We strive to differentiate our brand from our competitors and we hope in the new season you see some pieces where we are getting back to our roots. When looking for new Sales Associates we endeavour to look for a variety of people with proven sales skills and buckets of personality. Additionally, it's great to hear about how our Sales Associates still love wearing our Vivian Westwood designed dresses - they remain very iconic and we also love them. We wish you all the best. AP x

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate that at times our employees can be busier than usual, and so we trust our teams to manage their own workloads. One of our focuses for 2016/2017 has been on offering additional training for our head office teams, and so we now offer our employees classes on IT skills, languages and more. Once again I want to thank you for this feedback and we wish you all the best. AP x

Pros

Lovely office building and decor. Discount CEO is very kind, personable and encouraging. Product is fun

Cons

A lot of drug use within the company, including management, leading to uncomfortable, unproffesional working environment. HR turn a blind eye to this despite complaints. Loyalty to long term employees is sadly non existent. Original company values/ideas have changed, not as original compared to early years of the company.

Thank you for your feedback. Since the company started in 1994 there have been significant changes and recently we have seen more changes as we expand into new markets and continue to grow. AP is now bigger than ever and this is due to our former and current work force for which we have a huge appreciation. We would not be the brand we are today without them. We have a drug free work place and confidentially address all issues concerning this. We agree with you, Garry is a one of a kind CEO who loves a good chat in the elevator. We wish you all the best.
