Pros
Infectious "high on life" energy Free yoga/fitness classes Discount Getting to wear casual and comfortable clothing to work Encouraged to be authentic in my interactions with customers Support in being an "entrepreneur" in my section of the store, be creative, come up with ideas for visual merchandising, store events, etc. Environment that promotes wellness Support in asking questions, wasn't made to feel stupid for not knowing things or needing to have information repeated Access to tools to develop myself as an educator within the store
Cons
The biggest one for me: manipulative in pressuring educators to do work off the clock --> Examples: Create, print, and hang a stylish list of your life goals for the next 10 years (required); come to a store event and buy a top in a particular color; create a development plan (required); read books that the company thinks are important; go on the employee-only website and watch store-related videos (required); read company newsletters and store emails (required) Cliquey, personality-driven Received mixed-messages about maintaining life/work balance --> Said one thing, actions said another Leadership was not trustworthy in maintaining own integrity around store policies Pressured to ask customers personal questions when it was clear that they wanted to be left alone

Pros
Lululemon is a fantastic place to be if you're into health and well being, and especially yoga. I didn't know much, errr... anything about the company or yoga before I started. I bought some pants for my sister once, and heard that they had free classes every Sunday. Whoa dude, I felt friggin' awesome afterwards! Full disclosure: I got my degree in Exercise, but never focused much on the stretching part... Anyway, I joined a local yoga studio, and there happened to be some lulu's that frequented that place too. One of them suggested that I work there. A couple of weeks later, I did. Everyone there is upbeat, active and VERY healthy. Really. I always smuggled (chocolate) candy in to offset all the good-for-you stuff. Everything's a balance, right? They hire people who resonate well with their ideals. I've been around athletic retail and corporate for awhile, and this is such a nice place. Talk to guests about yoga/running/dance/massage/whatever and sell stuff -it's all pretty laid back (We have goals for sure. Wouldn't be lulu without them!) and genuine. The connections with their ambassadors and local yoga community are great, and I find myself talking them up still. It's a very goal oriented place, and want the best from/for you while you're there, and even when you leave. There is also a definite preference to have management borne from the educator ranks. Everyone's pretty much a go-getter, and pick up slack when others have been pulled somewhere else. We always learned about the new apparel/accessories too, and actually held a monthly store meeting every month. Holy crap, I can't believe I forgot to mention the unlimited (at the time) free classes! Oh, yeah, that was a biggie... BTW: I'm a guy, and there seems to be a dearth of them here -but that's good for us, yeah!?
Cons
I was a part-timer, so I never concerned myself with issues regarding my professional growth for the company, but they were there. Lulu's big into Landmark Education. I got their intro. prior to my association with lulu, from a friend. I didn't much care for it then, and got harassed on the phone so much afterwards! Those assuming management positions are "given the opportunity" or "gifted" (if you've spoken with someone who loved it, you'll know what that means...) participation there. I feel that there a good things to be taken from if for sure, but some of their tactics may be questionable. Bing or google it to find out why. Sometimes I felt that some can get so caught up in the rah-rah, that they become a little cultish. It wasn't really a bad thing, just and observation (yet I put it in the "Cons" section...). I always take a step back a evaluate what is going on around me. Take all the good you can from things. Know who you are. Know who you want to be.
