Yeh, it's true... you have to be good looking
 And I heard if you're a girl, you can't wear make-up.. or at least not too much  so looks like I can't get a job there...My friend Gloria was there and went up to them and was like "Do you have to be tall and white to work here?" They were all like "Noo... " haha, I thought it was funny... |

I dont like hollister.. cause the ones around my area is racist <--that's what i heard.. and once i went there... none of the employee's would say HI or anything. They act like you're not even there
 and yea.. u do have to be attractive to work there... the girls that works over here.. looks like models

in a lot of places, they hire you only cause youre pretty and attractive...
i saw this TV show where they tested out to see if that was true.. they picked out this plain, short girl and this tall, beautiful like model girl. the non-attractive girl was asked all these questions and was put on the waiting list. the attractive girl instantly got the job AND got a raise at the same time. [and all on a hidden camera ] WTF IS THAT? |

meh- once i went in there, and i never went there again
Me: um excuse me, i can't seem to find the other color of this shirt... Salesgirl: Uh, can't you wait a sec *i got so pissed off i said the following to her* Me: Uh, hello? no? you think i would love to waste my time on waiting for YOU, the sales, just because you asked me to? no. You're supposed to provide service. Give it to me or i'm gonna speak to your manager and you will end up as a thrift store sales instead.  I hate dogs. Females, that is

Man, I think that is the stupidest thing ever. I guess it's not an "equal-opportunity employer", those losers. Hollister is stupid so I don't shop there.
Psh, I can buy clothes exactly like those at Hollister for 20 bucks less and the only difference is that they don't have the Hollister label. |

You can get a lot of beautiful clothes someplace else and for a cheaper price too! Hollister is the dumbest store ever if you only get hired for being tall, pretty, and don't wear a lot of makeup. That's some dumbass sh1t. Next time, if anyone ever plans to go there, wear a shirt that's dissing Hollister. I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest sh1t ever. And scream at their faces and make a scene if they tell you to wait. I'll be like what the eff? *screaming* LOL That's me though. |

Yes.. It is ture.. And no it is not.. It is true because they will only hire pertty people, or people who have a good body. And no it is not true, becausse sum times there are sum ugly girls working there.. Well i guess they do want pertty people to work there, but if u think about it logically, mostly hott people buy there clothes, and would want to work there.. Not to be sterotypical, but not to many ugly people shop there, there fore, only hott peple will want ot apply to wok there. There fore it is sumtimes not true..

We don't have Hollister here thats is (Vancouver) So I don't have to worry about it, but I think in every store its mostly like that, if they have a model looking person and a okay person for sure they'll pick the model person. They have exactly the same thing here, Aritzia is a store that does that. All females that works there are all prettyy. I just don't get why don't the workers have manners dammit.

I think everyone's making a bigger deal about race than they should. They just hire who they hire you know? They want their image to look a certain way. I don't think a store like the Pottery Barn would hire some goth girl with nose rings and purple hair. Like, who cares that A black guy was working at abercrombie and one wasn't working at hollister? Or that An asian was working at hollister but not abercrombie? They hire all races as long as the person fits their ideal image. And no race is not a factor in that. |

i think this should be in debates...people could debate about this all day long...but hey i guess... i just think that hollister isnt racist, because the one here in Houston, TX hires just about anybody the only thing is that they have to wear the HOLLISTER label when they work...and it's cool...they are pretty awesome...there is a goth girl who works there but she wears the hollister label when she works and when she gets off she changes her clothes...that's my friend because i used to work with her...i think it only applies to certain stores

GAP and BANANA republic was very similar. I notice they usually recruit them rich white females, or the the metro-sexual, semi-pretty boy guys to work there. I rarely see a black female or an asian guy. Dominated white people. That's what I see...

Please think before you write, you may only see attractive people there at hollister but it's not only that maybe its because they had background checks were bad and stuff like that....because i'm not all that pretty and i'm fat so why did they hire me?? eh?? someone please tell me that... They are also liars see this http://www.komotv.com/stories/29493.htm but i dont know why you keep assuming that it's hollister...ok...but if anything is wrong and i'm wrong bout this give me the link that STATES that hollister is racist on hiring ok. thanks. but this is your info.

I think we are NOT saying HOLLISTER has a sexist or a racial dicrimination thing going on. What we are trying to say is, what we see "most" of the time is this general strain of super-babes or super-hunks working at this and that location. Yea, there may be one or two other than white females/males working there but its like out of maybe 20 employees.
Its like that SIMPSON's episode where Burns had nothing but male workers, so some law told Burns he needed to hire a female. He hired Marge, and that was it... |

UGH...lemme clear this up...I work @ Hollister...I am Filipino...not short, not tall...but average...I'm not skinny, not fat...but I do work out a little...and I wear HOLLISTER clothes...
This is how I got the job: I was shopping w/ my girlfriend...and the manager asked me if I have a job...I said no...then she asked if I wanted one there...I said "sure"...so she gave me an application and I went to the group interview the following day...At the interview...all I had to do was be myself...the next day she called and I got the job... Hollister is not racist...they hire people who are outgoing and fits the STYLE...it helps if your "attractive"...but thats not the MAIN CRITERIA...a couple of "attractive" people @ the interview DIDN'T get the job...and plus...most retailers dont hire people that DON'T fit they're style...you won't find "Preppy people"...working @ HOT TOPIC...so whats the big deal? Hope this helped people understand...and I hope it made sense...lol btw...4 asains work @ my Hollister...2 african americans and 1 hispanic...I didn't wanna have to share that info...but if it helps... |

why are you people taking things from just YOUR hollister and abercrombie in town? Who CARES if they weren't white but let me ask you something, were they GOOD LOOKING... that's what this is about.... if they don't hire you because you aren't white... then that's discriminating... but as for the good looking idea... there is no law saying anything about THAT being discriminating.... so they can hire whoever they want just as long as they aren't discriminating... I actually like hollister and abercrombie but i'm too poor... and here, the people actually greet you and say 'oh if you need help then just ask me' and i'm like "sure"... I'm NOT white... and I'm not "preppy"... sure, I do like they're clothes but who says you have to be of one specific social group to shop there? I like variety. And the same thing goes for Hot Topic... I will walk in there and buy a band shirt while I'm sitting there wearing a miniskirt and an american eagle shirt...
So, no, they aren't stuck up here and they're not all white but they ARE all good looking... and the employees are not racist here and they aren't rude... but maybe that's because of the southern hospitality... and the employers are not discriminative... so i don't see what the problem is... so what if they don't hire you because you are ugly, if you really cared about the job then go buy a new face... Plus, say... I were shopping somewhere that had both good looking and ugly people... i WOULD ask the good looking person for help... and not the ugly person... sure, that's selective... but what i'm trying to say is that the good looking person attracts more people... more customers are helped because the person who is attending them is good looking and such... Does anyone understand this? ANYONE? |

ok, we aren't talking about wether they hire white or not, but they don't just hire pretty people, some people need to get their facts straight, because if your posting on this topic you must have atleast read everything that went on before the last 6 posts.
this form is to get educated on why hollister is hiring only pretty people, but that's not the case, that's on the whole racist remarks abercrombie was accounted for on national television. ok. i'm not pretty but i got hired, that's what my point is, you dont have to be pretty. just fit their image, why do you guys care? do you want to work there? if not, why post remarks that your not fully aware of here? but that's just my point of view, because that's how i see it. |

I was gonna try to get a job at hollister but my poor grades stopped me, Some of my friends work there , And the people who i dont know are still very nice , Like mel said they greet you, and ask if u need help , But back to the topic. No they dont only hire White people , As for hot looking, yes , of course, if ur sporting a specific image, u want ur customers to fit that image right? Anyways I'm taller and more toned than most of the guys that work at my local hollister, and no they arent asian lol, not that im saying there are no asian employees cuz they're are....BLAH ANYWAYS . Good looks = Perhaps , Race = no. |

Your right. I think some stores do that. But, I can sort of see why. You want nice looking people representing your store... But I think it'd make more sense to get a mixture of people. Maybe that'd attract a more diverse consumer. They'd sell more that way...

maybe. The employees from Hollister and Abercrombie are usually rude and stubborn. I know from experience, although the male employees are pretty attractive
I like shopping at American Eagle. their clothes are adorable and the employees are so sweet. |

I've heard that too...I think it's true. The people who work there...are basically their models. My sister worked there. She was only allowed to wear something labeled hollister. If it wasn't from holllister it had to atleast look like something someone would buy there. But yeah I think it is somewhat based on physical appearance.
