Pros

-reimbursed fitness classes - discount - fun place to work

Cons

-Lack of training, and then you are at fault for not knowing key ideals from the training - they encourage you to take initiative but you are very often told no and you are stopped in your tracks - can get very caddy - push people out instead of having open talks

Pros

The people are great but there's lots of talk and not much walk with the leadership. free classes are great. discount ok but don't count of getting it for your spouse.

Cons

Work Life Balance is a myth, especially on the design floor. Don't be surprised if you are asked to work through the weekend or on holidays. Half the work is getting through broken processes and the rest if just to catch up. Much of the upper management does not come from experience but rather from just being at lululemon for so many years - old & out of touch. Expectations vary greatly depending on who's managing. Too many random initiatives going on at once.

Pros

Innovative and fun company. Great product.

Cons

Upper management isn't in the same page. From week to week it varied with regional and corporate leaders. Conflicting leadership makes it difficult to run a store with confidence. A bit of entitled attitudes from those in Vancouver and those now working on the East Coast from the corporate office. You must oblige to all development plans and say yes or you will be an outcast and never promoted.
