lululemon Reviews

Pros

good benefits with lots of friendly coworkers

Cons

work hours could be managed more efficiently

Pros

- Employee discounts - Pretty decent mental health benefits - Exposure to new technologies

Cons

The stark contrast between the technology organization and beyond is really disappointing. Some departments run like an unstable family business is run with little to no regard for career progression and aligning employee skills with actual business needs. The top level management in the technology org seem to leave in a luxury world, with lots of power and lots of benefits, this creates a desire in individual contributors to want to attain those levels, even though it might not exactly be possible, due to the instability mentioned above. There is really little to no direction from top leadership and it seems they're there just to fulfill all righteousness. This seeps into the teams and creates an unhealthy culture. Lastly they chose to rather hire a lot of contractors rather than full time employees, and you can see the impact of this on the kinds of software and infrastructure that currently exists. It's evident that no real commitment was made and people just kinda put things in working condition and left it at that. But somehow no one seems to have an issue with spending long hours and late nights working on issues that could have been resolved without human involvement. There's this idea that overworking yourself is applauded, praising people for working 17 hours, sleeping only a few hours and coming back to work to work another 17 hours. When that work culture is applauded in company meetings, you can see how one can feel like they're not doing enough if they aren't working late. Overall really disappointed in my experience at lululemon.

Pros

Amazing company culture, even being remote Lots of events and activities to stay connected to your team Flexible hours, easy to pick up or drop shifts Nice discount and work perks

Cons

Guests can suck sometimes Tech issues with systems Days can be long - especially during busy times

Pros

- Lots of benefits from working in the company - Great culture

Cons

- The position gets VERY frustrating after the first 5/6 months since you're just repeating certain tasks and conversations - Very hard to meet productivity requirements for the role - Very hard to move up and grow within the company from this position - Unrealistic expectations of educators in meeting productivity scores

Pros

There are some really great coworkers and people who are passionate about living their best lives. Met some great people and made some awesome connections! The culture is nice in the sense that they really strive to let you grow and do the best you can do and provide assistance when needed. There are also some great office goodies and events that happen every so often. - great coworkers - fun events - office goodies - chance to grow and develop to other departments - company that focuses on living healthy lives

Cons

The job as a guest educator is not so rewarding. You deal with more angry guests than positive or happy ones and it can feel like you're in a constant cycle of appeasing entitled people. This can make you feel exhausted by the end of the day or even halfway through. They also care a lot more about numbers/productivity than the actual interaction you have with the guest - which can be a big downfall for those who actually care about who they're helping. This also can make a lot of people feel stressed, pressured or overall uneasy about how well they're actually doing. - angry guests - pressure to fulfill numbers (doubled with pressure to make people happy) - intricate computer system that takes time to learn - lots of individual work - little time to actually feel connected with the people around you - it's a call centre

Pros
