Pros

- Some coworkers make work enjoyable - Sometimes there are free snacks - Meeting people that become your friends - Discounts range from 40% to 75% - Discounts on group workouts or at yoga/pilate studios

Cons

- Low pay which doesn’t correspond to the physical labor and long hours inputted. You are better off working for Amazon and receiving higher wages. - Short breaks which range from 10-30 minutes. - Managers/Coworkers can be nosy and annoying - Rude and entitled guests come into any establishment. However, lululemon enables that behavior from those kind of people. They have a strange policy of “saying yes to the guest” no matter how crazy the requests seem. - Micromanagement from some managers. They take their stress out on the educators because they don’t know how to properly lead. No one is ever on the same page because some managers make changes without a warning. To avoid doing their job, they will give out “tasks” while they sit around and talk about you or other coworkers. - Fake positivity is constantly pushed by management. People have lives outside of their job and everyday isn’t always a good day. - False promises of rewards are proposed by management to persuade people to come work outside of business hours.

Pros

-team oriented -personal growth opportunities -great discounts on clothes and perks for studio memberships -relatively easy to move up WITHIN the store

Cons

-Pay is VERY low for the amount of hours, effort and expectations for managers. It is also inconsistent as the "bonus" each month is dependent on your sales/hours worked. It's also important to note that the SSC (corporate) changes the hours allotted each month and often it does not support the traffic. Therefore, if hours are low for the month, only a certain amount of people are able to be scheduled (PT cut first from this) and we are frequently short staffed as traffic varies. -heads up: if you work in the stores, the SSC (corporate level) does NOT hire internally from their store employees, even if over qualified... even though they preach "pipeline" and "career development". *For reference, I worked at 4 different stores over the course of 7 years in many roles, completed my MBA, and never got an interview for the 20+ jobs I applied for within the SSC... many of which were entry level jobs.

Pros

Good discount, fun fitness benefits

Cons

The company is NOT transparent with how they tax benefits and pay out vacation pay. They BARELY promote from within, leaving no room for growth. They rely on hiring very young people who aren't as knowledgeable and who don't know their rights. They also force all employees to sign an arbitration agreement, so you can't sue them when they mess with your pay
