Pros

A great retail job where self growth is encouraged. Many corporate programs to participate in. Salary is better than any other retail position out there that I've seen.

Cons

They sell positive thoughts to you which is why people buy the clothing. This company promoted values to customers that it used to have for itself. They promote a healthy active lifestyle but a large portion of clothing is more trendy wear than functional wear. The quality of clothing is very low compared to what it used to be. Lululemon has lost what used to be special about it and is now like every other corporate athletic company. I had a very poor manager when working there and was surprised that she had made it to management.

Pros

Great team environment with supportive coworkers and positive culture. Strong emphasis on personal growth, communication, and leadership development. Flexible scheduling and a workplace that values health, wellness, and work-life balance

Cons

Can be fast-paced during peak hours and requires strong multitasking. Expectations can be high at times, especially around guest experience and store standards.

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!
