Pros

There are a lot! Most important: care more about people than the bottom dollar, great benefits including very generous discount and free classes in the community, smart hiring decisions ensure you're surrounded by like-minded, smart, and high achieving people, great product, none of the "we've always done it this way so it must be right" mentality, lots of growth opportunities, a unique and success-building internal culture, nearly endless resources for self-development, entrepreneurial environment, a chance to make a difference. Overall I would absolutely work for lulu in a heartbeat again!

Cons

Pay is definitely lower than the average retailer, especially for the top talent lulu attracts. If your strength isn't time management and you're in a leadership role you will struggle, as there's a lot to do and limited time and space to do it, leading some to work off the clock. If you're not into getting really honest about what you could work on and talking about your feelings, not the place for you, but it's really what you make it.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
