Pros
There were absolutely no pros at the location where I worked. *I would give 0 stars if it allowed for that
Cons
I worked at lululemon on two separate occasions. After leaving the first time I thought maybe I had not given the organization a fair chance, so years later I returned. I began as a part-time educator and worked my way up to a full time Key Leader and ended up being with the company for two years until I absolutely could not take it any longer. They constantly claim inclusivity but that is only true if you agree with upper management and have the exact same values as them, anything less is not accepted and you are forced out of the organization by passive aggressive bullying. They did offer some pay during Covid when stores were closed and this was considerate of them. Once the doors re-opened all bets were off. Working in a leadership role was detrimental to my mental health. I would leave the store and actually be inside of the store always feeling less-than because I did not align with the values of other leadership. Because of this I was forced to take their criticism and feedback, often crying in the back room of the store because of a particular assistant store manager who ruined our entire operation. Leadership would ask you to give feedback but when you did give it to them they would make excuses or say that your feedback was not relevant and totally disregard it. I often tried to voice my concerns and feedback within the store and they would tell me it "didn't land correctly" and then make excuses for their behavior and say that nothing they had done was incorrect or wrong. The store manager was so disengaged from what was going on inside of the store that she left most of it to the ASM who ruined the entire operation by choosing her favorite employees and showing favortism outwardly to them in front of others. She would take certain people in the back to chit chat while leaving others on the floor to run it alone. It was OK for employees to come in and speak about defunding the police, politics, ask people if they were vaccinated, etc. but if you showed a slightly different view or disagree you were shunned. I feel that I was forced out of the organization by the ASM and the SM, as well as an SM from another store where I interviewed. I will never recommend this organization to anyone that I come in contact with because of the way that I was treated. It was absolutely horrible.
