- drawn out interview process
- typically only hire people who have a background in fitness instruction/industry
- anything less than 100% on your performance review disqualifies you for a raise
- 30 minute lunch breaks for 8 HR shifts
- inflexible with availability (commuters/students beware)
- no overtime opportunities
- mandatory to work weekends and holidays
- Lots of negative feedback but no solutions for growth/improvement are provided
- reoccurring problem of inaccurate checks, & the inability to negotiate back pay for hours worked
- lack of transparency on employment status for seasonal hires, permanent contracts, promotions, and personal development
- employees are held to a higher integrity than Mgmt
- "FFI's" (aka being written up) is permanent on your record, you are only allowed 3 in your lululemon career before termination
- "notes" are constantly kept about you by Mgmt, and not disclosed to you.
- lots of "backroom chatter"/"below the line" gossip amongst coworkers
- promotions, development, and prime shifts are given to employees based on favoritism/personality, not the quality of work ethic
- if you do not subscribe to the "culture" you will find yourself missing out on opportunities within the company
