Pros

Individual contributors are humble, helpful, authentic, and kind--truly the most amazing people I've had the pleasure working with. | Involvement in the wellness industry. | Great tech company to start one's career.

Cons

The new CEO and leadership team have implemented new core values that are embarrassing for them to stand behind. Like, "inclusion is a competitive advantage"? Not you using DEI as a profit-driver. And my favorite, "No pain, no gain". What in the 90s fitness billboard? No more need to show the industry you have no idea about current wellness trends. Big yikes. ||||||||||| They just took away PTO payouts they promised A YEAR AGO, just one month prior to paying out to hardworking employees. Why? CEO states they underestimated payouts, no one took the time off he thought they would, and the company is doing too poorly. Current employees survived layoff after layoff and stayed committed to the company, forgoing time off to work on important initiatives. Any time off was a burden to already resource-strapped teams. Combine that with reducing bonuses from four times per year to once per year, and postponing the next one--and you have a recipe for leadership that does NOT care about employee wellness, or the core tenants of an industry they claim to understand. ||||||||||| Mindbody and Classpass' core competencies are lost in the shuffle of newer, better, more innovative, more on-the-industry-pulse products. The lack of strategic leadership has paved the way for competitors to rise above and win. They simply don't know what they're doing. And it shows in the market. ||||||||||| The CEO gave employees monthly wellness days to take off work and do something to care for themselves. Great, in theory. In practice--on one wellness day, he sent a company-wide email detailing why it was so important to check emails on wellness days AND EVEN on weekends. No pain, no gain, right?

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.
