Pros

Leadership has good intentions, communication company wide is regular and in as much detail as they can provide.

Cons

Covid highlighted how thin the margins were with the layoff and furlough of so many employees. Those that were left or brought back from furlough were expected to keep the ship righted with such limited resources and no extra compensation or benefits. Being a respected high performer meant you took 3-4 peoples jobs on at the sacrifice of your life outside of work. “Balance” was preached but not practiced. While I always felt leadership had the best intentions there is a lot of corporate gaslighting and overpromising for growth and opportunity. You stuck around because you thought one day you would have growth based on what you were told, and that wasn’t really true. The expectation is that we all have skin in the game to make the company a success but aren’t provided any financial incentive. So many people with amazing potential work there, so I hope their work is recognized and rewarded before they lose more of them. Compensation and benefits are not as innovative or progressive as the company would like you to think. They’re really just okay in the industry. Many leaders are in those leadership roles at all levels for the first time, so they are also trying to figure out what they’re doing. When I left the company, my new employer asked me if I thought Mindbody would make it, and my answer was “yes because Vista won’t let them not make it.” This comes at a high price, literally and figuratively, of the culture and the people (and ultimately your bottom line when you lose those people).

Pros

During my time at Mindbody, I was fortunate to work in an incredibly supportive team environment. The team was collaborative, fostering a positive and productive atmosphere where everyone’s ideas were valued. My managers played a key role in creating this supportive culture. They were not only approachable and encouraging, but also inspiring leaders who gave me the freedom to take initiative and grow within my role. One of the most rewarding aspects of my experience was the creative freedom I was given. I had the opportunity to explore new ideas and approach challenges in innovative ways, which made the work both exciting and fulfilling. This level of trust and autonomy helped me build my confidence, expand my skills, and develop as a professional. Additionally, the work culture at Mindbody emphasized collaboration, making it easy to share ideas and tackle problems togethe

Cons

While my experience at Mindbody was largely positive, there were a few challenges I encountered. One significant issue was the constant turnover in leadership. This frequent change in management created a sense of instability, as new leaders would often come in with different priorities and approaches. As a result, it sometimes felt like no one was on the same page, leading to a lack of direction and clarity. This inconsistency caused a fair amount of disorganization within the company, making it difficult to align on goals and strategies. The shifting leadership dynamics created some challenges in maintaining a consistent workflow and made it harder to build long-term plans. Despite the supportive team environment, this lack of continuity in leadership was a noticeable drawback.
