Pros

- Some coworkers make work enjoyable - Sometimes there are free snacks - Meeting people that become your friends - Discounts range from 40% to 75% - Discounts on group workouts or at yoga/pilate studios

Cons

- Low pay which doesn’t correspond to the physical labor and long hours inputted. You are better off working for Amazon and receiving higher wages. - Short breaks which range from 10-30 minutes. - Managers/Coworkers can be nosy and annoying - Rude and entitled guests come into any establishment. However, lululemon enables that behavior from those kind of people. They have a strange policy of “saying yes to the guest” no matter how crazy the requests seem. - Micromanagement from some managers. They take their stress out on the educators because they don’t know how to properly lead. No one is ever on the same page because some managers make changes without a warning. To avoid doing their job, they will give out “tasks” while they sit around and talk about you or other coworkers. - Fake positivity is constantly pushed by management. People have lives outside of their job and everyday isn’t always a good day. - False promises of rewards are proposed by management to persuade people to come work outside of business hours.

Pros

Great team environment with supportive coworkers and positive culture. Strong emphasis on personal growth, communication, and leadership development. Flexible scheduling and a workplace that values health, wellness, and work-life balance

Cons

Can be fast-paced during peak hours and requires strong multitasking. Expectations can be high at times, especially around guest experience and store standards.

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!
