Vantaggi

Phenomenal discount, free fitness classes, fun special events, opportunity for travel and leadership training, fast track through management, upbeat, clean and fun work environment.

Svantaggi

Little work/life balance, expectation to go 'above and beyond', expectation to read various books and attend events and trainings for which you are not paid, a 'type A'/perfectionist environment that encourages working overtime but doesn't compensate accordingly. Management at lululemon includes a lot of 'personal development' which is both beneficial and also a negative at times. Employees are held to frequently unattainable standards of 'always being on', 'being bright and shiny', 'giving 110% at all times', 'having high energy at all times', etc. -- these are great standards to have but become quickly suffocating when they're used as catchphrases on a daily basis and are the litmus test for employee effectiveness and contribution.

Vantaggi

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!

Svantaggi

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!
