lululemon

Working for lululemon has been one of the best experiences. 

To start the interview process:
-First interview is a group interview. Interviewer is dressed in all lululemon so you can either show off your lululemon gear or come business casual.
- Second interview is one on one and they get to know a bit more about you and what brings you to lululemon.
- You usually hear back within the week regarding the position

Training:
- 2 weeks paid training. It's a lot of information to take in but very manageable. You learn all about the culture of lululemon, the gear, and the science of fabrics.
- For the systems ttraining you get the hang of it pretty quickly so don't worry to much!

The Job Itself:
-The daily tasks usually consist of answering phone calls, emails, live chats and text messages. 
- You would help with placing orders, returns, complaints, compliments and any general questions or concerns.
- When lines are slow you are alotted time to learn  and improve in areas you feel it is needed. This may look like online learning, practice in systems, product knowledge, mainting the work area and a few more tasks.

The Culture:
- They are the first company I have ever worked for where they really care. I can't stress this enough .... The leadership mean it when they say they are there for you when you need it. I experienced it first hand I went through a rough patch in life while I was employed there and my leads where there when i needed it most.

- You form amazing friendships while working here through the pods you work in and the different events hosted in the office.

I highly reccomend considering this as a future opportunity.


What is the best part of working at the company?
A friendly working environment with great support system. They are there to help you grow and succeed. The area that stood out for me was the fact that they honour their payment system and by so doing putting the employees first. They believe a happy employee equals a successful business.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I wouldn't say there was a stressful part. As every other organisation, they expect you to be diligent with your work. Generally the shift rotations were great for me and this was because the schedules came on time, which gives you ample time to plan ahead. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
lululemon believes in diversity and inclusivity. They want you involved and sharing your ideas. I remember always having time scheduled for fun at the beginning of our team meetings. This was done to help everyone ease out from any stress from working.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I start my day off by going through the information hub to see the changes that have been made, and or the new information they want us to have about new designs, outreaches, activities and the likes. After keeping myself abreast of new information, I jump into the various channels assigned to me for the day. It ranges from chats, emails to phone channels. My day ends with exchanging pleasantries with colleagues on teams. I guess it was one of my favourite things to do.

Working with the IT team at Lululemon was a rewarding experience (Seattle, WA and Canada) I had the opportunity to collaborate with talented peers and build strong professional relationships, which I genuinely value. The team culture fostered learning and innovation, and I’m grateful for the support and camaraderie I found among my colleagues.

However, I did face challenges with Seattle leadership during my time there. In particular, I found the management style from Network Services to be lacking in professionalism and accountability. Constructive feedback, regular 1:1s, and direct communication—key pillars of effective leadership—were missing. Tasks were often reassigned without clarity or recognition, and concerns were not addressed directly but instead surfaced through indirect complaints, which undermined trust and morale.

While I appreciated the team and the broader company mission, this experience highlighted the importance of strong, transparent leadership for a healthy and productive work environment.

Felt really well supported as an educator and as a floor manager! Easy enough job once you know your product and how to speak to guests. However, I did have some issues with managers; they’re given way too much flexibility sometimes, and can make self-cantered decisions because of it. Very cliques. 
If you ever want to get into an ASM or SM position, you’ll be waiting a long time just for an available position, and then even longer because there are too many acceptable candidates vying for the same position. You’ll have to leave the company if you want to move up for that experience. Training as a manager isn’t ideal either; the ASM’s and SM’s all learn from people who are still fresh in their roles and it results in a lot of bad habits being passed down, some that have resulted in decisions that were detrimental to careers. 
As Key Leaders, ASM’s pass off more work to you to “learn their role for development” but it’s more work than necessary and not worth it for the both the pay and payoff of “development”. But if you don’t agree to do it, you’re not seen as a team player and then they won’t support you in development because you’re not as invested. Same goes for educators trying to get into key leader roles; you have to volunteer time and energy to prove you deserve the role. 

The only thing worth mentioning about their warehouse is that its relatively new and well organized compared to others I've worked in. 

Lululemon will literally make you work till you drop if you've proven yourself to be capable of handling larger workloads. Be rest assured that you will be assigned the majority of tasks which no one else wants while having paid the same.

Work environment can be described as hostile, everyone is competing for space and trying to get their tasks done on time. On a side note, if you prefer a diverse environment then please move on. Its hugely dominated by a certain ethnicity including the management and supervisory team, you will hear them conversing in an language other than English throughout your shift.

Benefits? none to speak of as I was hired through a placement agency. 

My advice to management, If you are serious about the well-being of your employees and social distancing, please up-size your cafeteria! Everyone is without masks at close distance throughout their break. Also, please consider incorporating performance incentives into everyone's payroll if you wish to weed out slackers. This is an effective strategy used by many warehouses. A gift card or pat on the back won't cut it, get real!



At Lululemon, I have found that people are enthusiastic about their gear AND most especially the people who wear it! The environment is leadership-oriented, meaning that there are lots of opportunities for training and development within the company and most of the training offers transferable skills that are useful to use in succeeding in one's personal life goals as well. 

Lululemon is an experiential brand that ignites a community of people living the sweat life through sweat, growth and connection and elevates others in helping them realize the full potential they are capable of.

I resonate with Lululemon's core values of personal responsibility, entrepreneurship, honesty, courage, connection, fun, and inclusion that this company promotes in their work environment. They see where they can improve, like in offering more sizing and bettering their inclusivity, and then work together to begin change for the better. 

In my above review, you can probably tell just how much I have enjoyed working for this company. :D

- the culture at lululemon atheletica was the BEST part about working there. I was always feeling inspired at work & it was a very goal orientated workplace. the team as a whole was VERY supportive of your personal goals & work goals. 
- management holds the team to a very high standard when working on the floor and handling guests in the store. 
-I learned a lot about managing people, which became one of my favourite parts of the job. Holding the team accountable to their roles & giving feedback was a huge part of my day.
-Being the merchandising leader allowed me to learn ALOT on top of the knowledge I had in merchandising and with all the feedback involved in the company it really pushed me to grow into a strong leader and merchandiser. 
-hardest part of the job was that sometimes staying on top of all the tasks and duties happening in the role and inside the store was hard. we were expected to do a lot outside of work hours which at times was overwhelming.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The coworkers you get to know and connect with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The inconsistency of hours. You never know as a PT worker if you’ll get 0 hours of work per week or 30. The company availability requirements are insane for a job that is part time and there is zero flexibility to this unless you are favored by one of the managers doing the scheduling. Balancing work and life or two jobs is extremely difficult due to the required availability and the actual offered inconsistent schedule.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Specifically at the Niagara Outlet location, many of the managers create an environment of anxiety and stress as they seem to believe that it is the way to improve efficiency and performance. The store initially seems very well-functioning and welcoming until it doesn’t. There is a clear issue with preferential treatment; if you are not a part of the group that the management has taken a particular liking to, you can expect less opportunities of growth and less flexibility in terms of scheduling, holidays etc.

I was hired as a seasonal educator for the Metrotown location, and all was well and good during onboarding. Training was pretty long and was the typical stuff that wasn't super important in day-to-day work. Once we hit the floor it was quite surprising how the training really didn't prepare us to do anything except "sell the product", as in very little training for the register, hemming, and customer service Q&A's. After learning the hard way, I became pretty good at what I was doing, but there were multiple occasions were there would be a customer issue and we were told to use "our best judgement" but frequently I was told that the judgement I chose was wrong. I brought it up with management that I didn't feel supported in some situations and I was told to "not take it so personally" rather than actually helping with the issues I had raised.  Very little support from some of the management team when there was a customer issue, and some just stood by and watched how it unfolded. Started to become quite toxic (at this location) because management played favourites regardless of performance. Would recommend the company (discount is juicy) but wouldn't recommend this location.

At morning time small portion of time was difficult because that time I had to unloading the trailer i finished that work in one hour maximum if trailers were two. After that we all were going to fillactive side that departments was so enjoyable departments  because we all were gossiping and make their  body active all employees work with competition every one in the  make a target to finished upto that,,,,that work like every cloth has a tags and other side in the hall make a racks and write numbers out of every rack and one scanner that put in my arm and  one button is on my finger we should have matching the products code according to the rack and put that cloth in the rack and scan again, which person operate scanner first day for his it's a difficult work when he work upto 5 hours after that he feels enjoy and makes a target in ourselves because he feels enjoy from inside as well as everyone feel active and fit. We can say to that task fillactive AS2,AS3 towards.
