Pros

This place will motivate you like no other. Lululemon truly changed my life and I struggled really hard when I left the place to move on to a full time (hired not temp) position. The workouts and the trainers and the staff are so friendly and they really try to do things for the employees like luncheons, or having breakfast there at the start of the shift.

Cons

No set schedule. They may tell you that you will work X to X, but there is SO much mandatory overtime. Not good for a family. Also, the turnover rate is the worst thing. I was told so many times that I was on the chopping block because I wasn't running fast enough when I would be sent to another department to train which leads me to my next con. I have zero problem with cross training, but you can't expect somebody to master another department within a few hours. I certainly feel like there is a little bit of discrimination against heavier people who cannot move as fast as somebody fit. I was certainly turning my lift around working there, but sometimes they really made me feel down with they would say I was on the "chopping block for not moving fast enough". Also was there more than 90 days without missing or being late once and no offer for full time. Many employees had been there for 8+ months with no offer of full time

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!
