Pros

The pay is amazing for a part time job. Actually realizing your goals and putting them down on paper Being able to workout with amazing people in your community

Cons

If you don't want to be a store manager as a life goal you can forget about even getting a pay raise as a key leader. If you don't fit their sorority girl mentality then forget about getting along with higher management. And Lululemon has cut out a massive market in plus size workout clothes.

Not a place you want to stay very long

Pros

Positive environment, work is not hard for the pay, great for outgoing or chatty people, good benefits and discount, personal growth focused mentally and physically. Workout monthly stipend. PTO accrual. Builds community, you can easily make friends who support you with constant events.

Cons

You recognize favoritism very quickly with who gets to move up in each store. Interviews eliminate basically every element about hiring fairly between who deserves it most to who marks boxes on paper. Drama with scheduling. Changes by corporate are always made without regard to staff or store opinion. Extremely focused on conversion while not giving fair goals to hit bonus when employees don't earn commission. One-size-fits-all approach for SOP's not allowing high volume stores to adapt without higher ups visiting to tell us to work less efficiently and more robotic.

Employee Beware

Pros

The discount is great comparatively to other stores in the retail industry.

Cons

-Leadership is not supportive of the part-time workers or those workers that work on the floor the majority of the time. Saw workers often get taken advantage of to extend their shifts - sometimes to 12-14 hour days during the holidays. Most store leadership doesn't even work on the floor and leave their staff to deal with difficult guests. -Often employees were allowed to come to work sick during a pandemic because there was no one else available for coverage. This happened several times throughout COVID-19. -Company preaches that they care about the employee experience, but they do not. Store leaders are often not versed in employment laws nor do they care about employee well being. -Typically cut hours tremendously and staffed the store short on busy days. Leadership never covered call offs. -Filed several complaints against management with regional Human Resources (who lives on the other side of the country and had never visited our store in person) and was removed from the schedule consequently for speaking up as an advocate for my team members. -Leadership gossips about team members calling those that hold them accountable to do their job "difficult". -Customers treat you horribly - often demanding you to do things against store and company policy and leadership would just break rules rather than educate the guest on the appropriate rules.
