Pros

- Occasional work from home which helps in avoiding drama and annoying people - If your only purpose is to get discounts on products, you’ll like it here - There’s a gym and cafeteria

Cons

High performance culture is often cited, but it can feel like a strategy to make you work excessively long hours without additional pay, prioritizing the company above all else. There’s a constant sense of urgency. If something goes wrong, even outside normal hours, you’ll be expected to drop everything and fix it. Poor planning is common; many wait until issues escalate, which leads to long hours for everyone involved. If you love sales, be prepared to dislike it here. Sales events are demanding and draining, and your compensation is closely tied to revenue. The company idealizes lululemon. Having lululemon on your resume is viewed as prestigious, and the culture often mirrors that brand, creating a sense of superiority. Some managers frequently message to assert their presence, treating everything as urgent. You'll be expected to respond immediately, even during personal emergencies. Job titles lack consistency. Promotions often depend on favoritism rather than merit, leading to disparities in titles despite differing experience levels. Expect an overload of jargon and acronyms that are used excessively, which can feel unnecessarily convoluted. You’ll likely be tasked with multiple roles due to the company's notion of “generous” pay. Final tip: consider staying away if you value your well-being.

Pros

Cool work environment. Great role if you don't want to be customer facing. Employee discount is a nice perk.

Cons

Shifts are assigned on an as needed basis. It is possible for weeks to go by without a single shift.
