Pros

Inclusive work place, hardworking people. I'm very proud of telling people I work for Holts! Discount is awesome and lots of great employee wellness events, benefits and learning opportunities. Great opportunities as we are the only luxury department store in Canada!

Cons

Sometimes leaders are confusing. We now have a new CEO who seems very dialed in and experienced. Already some great early signs that strategy and overall business direction will be clearer. At times it has felt that we've been caught up in have so many objectives and priorities that it was confusing as to what the overall direction and vision is. It does feel that change is afoot, in a good way!

Pros

I cannot recommend working here enough. My time here was so much fun. The work environment also added to my great experience working at Holt Renfrew. This company caters well to their clients and employees. I loved being able to have a say in which brands the department would bring in. The sales associates are the ones most connected with the clients so I enjoyed that they listened to our opinions. The management was very good also and I found that everyone had lots of experience and were qualified to be managers (unlike Nordstrom, which lets people be in management who shouldn’t.) The company holds many events which is fun for employees and clients alike. Overall, I would recommend working here to anyone.

Cons

If you are working on full commission it can be difficult to make income when slow seasons come and I think they should change that because it would create a less competitive environment and allow employees to make more genuine connections with the clients. This is only in one department.
