Coolgirl brand Aritzia made employees rate each other's appearances, discriminated against Black salespeople, and fostered a culture of fear, some exstaffers say
"Brian Hill, the founder of the multibillion-dollar clothing company Aritzia, was visiting one of his boutiques, and, as usual, everyone was in a panic.
Corporate visits are common in retail, but Hill's standards were high, not only for things like whether a store's lighting perfectly accentuated the clothes, but also for the people who worked for him, the vast majority of whom were women.
On this visit, Hill assembled a group of employees near the front of the Toronto store and gestured to a nearby Victoria's Secret plastered with photos of lingerie-clad models. "Why aren't we hiring people who look like that?" he asked, according to a former employee who was present. (A spokesperson for Aritzia told Insider that Hill "has never made any comments or directives regarding hiring employees based on their race or body type.")"
