Pros

Great development opportunities! Very strong culture with a focus on setting goals. Supportive of personal as well as professional goals.

Cons

Ivivva is the girl's line of clothing produced by lululemon. The organization is growing quickly and there are some growing pains as with any dynamic organization.

Pros

- Awesome team environment and culture - Regular feedback on work, initiatives, progress - Encourage a full life outside of the office

Cons

A couple months after doing some contract work for head office, I went on 5 interviews to become a full time employee. The interviews were all very promising and the sheer number lead me to have hope that I had it in the bag. After the last one I didn't hear anything, so had to email every 2-3 weeks for months. Finally was told a vague story and decided to put it at rest.

Pros

Clothing discount. individual stores are as such, so you really get to cut your teeth on running a small business. you learn in trial by fire.

Cons

there are many. do a quick google search and you'll pull up some eye-opening articles on what it's like to work here above an educator level. they are all true. regional managers and higher say they hear the feedback about things like getting benefits (no sick time, no support with family leave or childcare, no 401k, pay is a joke) but nothing is ever done. it's a well known joke within stores that if you want to become upper management you better become a stepford wife and have a rich husband, cause you sure can't support yourself from what you're paid, and no one wants you to be real about internal problems. if you're looking for a legit career where you'll be valued, paid what you're worth, work where intelligence and business savvy is valued over cult loyalty and working off the clock all with a smile a valley girl accent, look elsewhere. also if you're not a white straight affluent twenty something, definitely look elsewhere, because you'll absolutely never move up. nothing gets rolled out correctly, work life balance is a myth, and the "culture" is mostly intimidation, veiled threats, and the company's own language which they use to break people down mentally.
