Amazing perks but at a high price.

Pros

Phenomenal discount, free fitness classes, fun special events, opportunity for travel and leadership training, fast track through management, upbeat, clean and fun work environment.

Cons

Little work/life balance, expectation to go 'above and beyond', expectation to read various books and attend events and trainings for which you are not paid, a 'type A'/perfectionist environment that encourages working overtime but doesn't compensate accordingly. Management at lululemon includes a lot of 'personal development' which is both beneficial and also a negative at times. Employees are held to frequently unattainable standards of 'always being on', 'being bright and shiny', 'giving 110% at all times', 'having high energy at all times', etc. -- these are great standards to have but become quickly suffocating when they're used as catchphrases on a daily basis and are the litmus test for employee effectiveness and contribution.

Pros

Great culture, free yoga, rapid growth, positivity, health and wellness, great discounts, paid self-development work. Can learn a lot about the business, since you can get involved in any part of running the store. Lots of great books to read in the library.

Cons

Girls can be caddy, lots of politics, some "fake" people, can be boring in stores.
