Pros

Great people, great pay for retail, great customers, perks of free classes (yoga, piltes, gym classes etc), great staff discount, great product to sell. Lululmon has a company culture that is real and they live and breathe it, it's not just something they talk about. It can be insprirational working there.

Cons

Sometimes the culture can be a bit too full on and if there is something about the culture you don't agree with you just have to grin and bear it, as you have to be a part of it. you have to set goals and go to classes, read books etc, which for some is great, but if you are looking for a retail job where you just go in, work and leave, this is not it. Also felt they sometimes take advantage of staff a bit, getting them to do extra stuff, that's not part of the job.

Pros

discounts, perks, benefits, and community events. I love my coworkers that aren’t in management.

Cons

lots of drama. I’ve been bullied and excluded by a handful of people, including managers. very much so the popular scene. tight scheduling. just updated policy. not many people are happy. have to abide by policy and no way around it for scheduling. dramatically less lenient with scheduling and expectations than when I started. very disappointed. seems they care more about the guest experience than the employee experience now.
