Pros
Working in store is nice, there is a focus on leadership and strengthening skills. There is direct feedback in the moment and a positive up beat work environment. It’s like extended high school or college vibe. (Ageism)
Cons
Lululemon’s GEC (guest education centre) has been the worst mind manipulation of a job I’ve ever had. What a hypocritical company. They are number one in performance activism. I’m just surprised I was brainwashed for so long thinking the people and company shared my values of “Our core values of personal responsibility, entrepreneurship, honesty, courage, connection, fun, and inclusion are lived by our people every day and are at the heart of our unique company culture. We live a life we love.” Aka we exploit anyone so we can stay on top. We’ll use black men as our way into the black community… while not supporting our actual employees or paying them live able wages. Well tell them we support matnerity care and pay for their leave but when they come back and have performance issue or mental health issues even with documented disabilities we’ll fire them! No room for neuro divergents here! No matter how courageously I’ve shared, no matter how braced I’ve been to speak up about the white privilege we uphold and therefore support white supremacy and socioeconomic differences. I spent 12 weeks in 2021 submitting my workplace accommodation through the standard. Anytime I had an issue they told me leave options. I’m actually here to destroy the patriarchy and any misogyny that fires me because I am a mom of two young brown girls. And I’d never let them work at a place like this. Dont ever whiten your self up to fit in with these people. No code switching!
