Pros

Great opportunity to work with women who are passionate about fitness. Wearing yoga pants to work every day is a plus.

Cons

The company has changed a great deal over the last few years and there has been turnover. Less living the brand activities celebrating what the company stands for and more changing edicts from upper management of snooty verbiage to make them feel important. Upper management bullies and will never take responsibility for mistakes. They take hard working employees for granted. They give unpaid "stretch assignments" that may involve travel that is unpaid. Impossible to get promoted unless you are willing to relocate or travel.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
