Pros

Great people, great pay for retail, great customers, perks of free classes (yoga, piltes, gym classes etc), great staff discount, great product to sell. Lululmon has a company culture that is real and they live and breathe it, it's not just something they talk about. It can be insprirational working there.

Cons

Sometimes the culture can be a bit too full on and if there is something about the culture you don't agree with you just have to grin and bear it, as you have to be a part of it. you have to set goals and go to classes, read books etc, which for some is great, but if you are looking for a retail job where you just go in, work and leave, this is not it. Also felt they sometimes take advantage of staff a bit, getting them to do extra stuff, that's not part of the job.

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!
