Pros

Only perks worth it anymore are the discount and sweaty pursuits

Cons

lululemon used to be fun and trust its employees to make business decisions since entrepreneurship is one of the core values. But lately it’s become the exact opposite. It’s all about following rules and doing what your managers tell you even though they have no managerial experience and micromanaging is how they “lead”. lululemon no longer cares about its employees it’s all about money when just a few years ago it was the opposite and the culture was so inclusive and fun.

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!
