How is management perceived at Alo Yoga?

You get lots of free clothes when you join and most of management is very relaxed.

You have to work holidays

Discount if you like the clothes, but after a while, they just start to feel like uniform, but they discounts 50% off

I have been there for a while. There is no worklife balance at all, and most of the managers are really caddy.

You can bring your dog to the office Nice discount on their clothing Overall chill environment with mostly younger workforce so you can make friends easily depending on the team

Do not give into the sham they try and portray themselves with on social media. They are the complete opposite. No mindfulness and wellness will be found here. Management is completely toxic where you'll always be feeling stressed, and they feel like they can yell at you over the smallest thing like it's completely normal thing to do. Every department whether it's accounting, marketing, retail, production, design, logistics, etc.. are completely overworked and stressed, but upper management doesn't care because they're in delululand and lining their own pockets based on the hard work all the employees are doing. They will give themselves promotions and raises and then email the entire company patting themselves on the back, IT'S THAT BAD!!! When working here, you're constantly going to have to feel like you need to defend yourself. You'll be thrown a ton of work and when you can't get to it all you'll be berated and told you're not good enough. Other departments and people love pointing the finger at you because they don't feel like they should have any accountability. A lot of out of touch people over here but who can really blame them when everyone is constantly stressed and overworked just to line up the cancerous upper management's pockets. Speaking to that, they recently moved to a "flex pto" schedule where you don't even get holidays off. You want to be with your family on Thanksgiving or Christmas? Well too bad. You need to get it approved. They also took away WFH but still give the option to certain people, teams, and contractors, usually the ceo's pet favorites. Contractors and the C tier "influencers" they parade around here get better treatment than employees. Lastly, the opportunities for advancement are completely minimal. They do not want to invest in you to do better. They would rather hire from outside or overpay a contractor just to not promote you. Raises and bonuses for most employees are completely abysmal. They all go to contractors and upper management. It's pathetic. And then they do a surprised pikachu face when turnover is so high. It's been multiple times already where an entire team will just completely quit because they've had enough. Mental breakdowns and people crying is a common theme at this company. If you value any part of yourself, STAY FAR AWAY!!! The only good thing I can say of this place is the dog policy and that is not nearly enough to put up with this sham of a company. Even the dogs themselves get stressed out just being in this office.

friendly staff and management, good hours, work life balance

none, everything was great while working there!

New wardrobe every quarter and 50% discount

My experience with Alo has been deeply disappointing. The company is plagued by a toxic culture, where managers often exhibit arrogance and self-serving behavior. Instead of leading by example, they frequently patronize and belittle employees, creating a mentally draining work environment. This has led to a significant turnover, with many employees leaving within just a few months. Alo's primary focus is on sales goals and pushing their overpriced sneakers, rather than fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace. Unfortunately, this extends to discriminatory practices, particularly against people of color, further exacerbating the negative atmosphere. The lack of core values and genuine leadership makes Alo a challenging and disheartening place to work.

Discount and free clothes every so often.

I have never experienced such exhaustion and mental torment in any other company than I have with alo. There’s no clear direction on anything, systems and process are a constant work in progress and yet you’re held to a higher standard, lots of public shaming, constant harassment on your day off (and when you’re on PTO). This company needs several years to get their processes and people in order, they have the highest turn over in management that I’ve ever seen (and it’s all people who have been working for less than a year). Are the clothes great? Absolutely. But do yourself a favor and just be a customer, not an employee…to be quite honest, knowing now how people are treated, I don’t even recommend being a customer.

Free wardrobe several times a year- unfortunately, cons very much outweigh the pros.

Toxic environment starting from the top in HQ is disappointing as the culture of the entire company does not at all align with what Alo claims to be their values and guiding principles. Recruiters and higher up management will speak a lot about internal growth and promotions. However, the amount of turnover throughout the company including HQ is constant. Majority of employees are always new due to turnover. Favoritism and who you know vs what you know is also true. If your looking for inclusive, you will not fine it with Alo, it is the most exclusive company.

We get commission and the managers are good

Shift work as a Visual Merchandiser

Strong company culture and great discount

Management can be biased, lots of favoritism, not great at working around personal schedules

Discount, that pretty much sums it up.

I'm genuinely relieved I left. The environment was incredibly unprofessional, managers constantly power-tripped, pushed nonstop sales, yet offered zero recognition when I delivered results. There was a quiet but obvious jealousy and high-school behaviour from people who clearly see this job as the peak of their career. Some staff seemed threatened by anyone with real ambition, and it showed. Instead of support, it turned into drama and attempts to pull others down. The turnover rate says everything. People don't leave good workplaces, and they leave this one constantly. Management and coworkers alike contributed to a toxic, draining culture. I'm just grateful I moved on to better places. This was absolutely not it.
