Pros

free work out classes in your area, discount on clothes

Cons

ooo where to start.. At first it is fun and you do meet some nice people, but then you realize how cultish it is. I worked there as an educator. I worked super hard and was the only member of the staff that got acknowledged in the review by a secret shopper, for being helpful and knowledgeable about the product. A secret shopper is someone from lululemon corporate that comes into the store under cover to rate it... anyways I never got a good employee review after that, never acknowledged by my manager by that, because I didn't drink the lululemon "Kool-aid." If you come to work excited, ready to work hard, and with a good attitude it gets you know where. You have to be that and work on learning to be super fake and tell your manager that you want to go to Landmark someday... Landmark is a weekend retreat away, where you aren't allowed any contact with family and friends, and they pretty much tell you your life is terrible and you are a failure, then they proceed to build you up... weird huh? yea I thought so too.. That's why I never wanted to go....lululemon tends to forget that it is a RETAIL store. They think they are the next Dr. Phil or Oprah or something... it's real weird...

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
