Lack of direction, disorganization and horrible politics - Anonymous employee Mindbody Employee Review

There are so many cons that it is hard to list them all here. Management doesn't know what they are doing. They became management because they started at MINDBODY in the early days and not because they had the skills needed to be successful in the job. These managers are threatened by anyone who might possibly have more experience and will knock those people down. I mean, why let anyone who might help make departments successful succeed? They might make the VP or Director look bad. It's every man for themselves and the favorites of the CEO always get what they want even if it makes no sense. Overall there is a lack of direction with the company. I get that they want to be profitable but how exactly are they going to get there? Changing priorities, teams, org structures every few days is not going to help people focus on an objective. My department was in constant change and everyone always felt unsettled. We didn't know who was in charge, what to work on, who we were working with and it made completing work incredibly challenging. It is impossible to prioritize with this chaos and disorganization that is constantly going on. One minute project A is the most important priority, the next minute it's Project B and 5 minutes later Project A is back at the front of the list. There is absolutely no career development at MINDBODY. I had no training, had to pay for my own certifications and was never offered anything that might help me grow. I had to do all of that on my own. Finally, there is a huge lack of respect between departments. No one respects one another and it leads to a really toxic, negative environment. The core values basically don't exist anymore so don't let them fool you with that. The compensation is about half of what you'd get in a major city and you pay a small fortune for your health insurance. Beware before going to MINDBODY. If you don't like working in total chaos all the time and kissing senior leadership butt it might not be for you.
