- drawn out interview process - typically only hire people who have a background in fitness instruction/industry - anything less than 100% on your performance review disqualifies you for a raise - 30 minute lunch breaks for 8 HR shifts - inflexible with availability (commuters/students beware) - no overtime opportunities - mandatory to work weekends and holidays - Lots of negative feedback but no solutions for growth/improvement are provided - reoccurring problem of inaccurate checks, & the inability to negotiate back pay for hours worked - lack of transparency on employment status for seasonal hires, permanent contracts, promotions, and personal development - employees are held to a higher integrity than Mgmt - "FFI's" (aka being written up) is permanent on your record, you are only allowed 3 in your lululemon career before termination - "notes" are constantly kept about you by Mgmt, and not disclosed to you. - lots of "backroom chatter"/"below the line" gossip amongst coworkers - promotions, development, and prime shifts are given to employees based on favoritism/personality, not the quality of work ethic - if you do not subscribe to the "culture" you will find yourself missing out on opportunities within the company
