Pros

-comfy clothes to work -discount -2 free workout classes

Cons

-work weekends -miss holidays because you have to work either xmas eve or the day after xmas -one day (xmas eve) to buy things for friends and family-so tacky..My particular opportunity was after our store closed the day before xmas eve at 10:00 at night... yea sorry not going to buy my family picked over things... -They claim to be a luxury brand and company, yet they are so nit-picky and monitor what sizes you are buying to make sure it's for you and not for a friend or family member-my friend that worked for Chanel in NYC got one day every 3 months to buy things for family and friends-that's a luxury company-sorry lululemon -once you give your two weeks notice you are not allowed your discount even though you are still an employee of the company-once again tacky -if you don't fit a particular mold they are looking for they dismiss any sort of feedback you give them. if you are the type to speak up and point out flaws in the management don't work here... they say they appreciate feedback, but really they appreciate the feedback that they want to hear. Our store was the last privately owned lululemon in the nation and corporate took over in September. All employees were completely open to this change and saw it as a great opportunity....Everything went down hill fast.. People got screwed over immensely by corporate employees and within the past 2 months 5 employees have left- two of which had been loyal employees for 4+ years. - expect a lot of hypocrisy- the company claims to have core values of honesty, integrity, feedback..etc... they expect you to have those but not management. They pick and choose which ones they want to follow in a given situation -Be expected to work under people that are ignorant and on power trips if they are in a leadership position above you. If you are smart and ambitious and are not a push-over this place is not for you. Take my advice and don't work here. It causes too much unwanted stress in your life, because of the amount of crap you have to put up with (or don't have to put up with since my last day is Saturday). If you want to work retail work some where else. This company tries to hide the fact that it's terrible by being in your face about personal development and goal coaching, when really they want to mold you into what THEY want you to be.. They don't care about your personal goals unless they are future goals within the company. Run far, far away from working here.

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!
