Mindbody reviews

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.

Mindbody decided to lay off 650 employees and furlough 350 due to COVID. While most companies stood by their employees MB did not. After we started working from home they immediately started talking about layoffs. The whole process was very impersonal and done via a mass email sent out at 5:00 AM on April 2nd. This email was the same and stated if you were laid off, got to keep your job, or furloughed. This is creating panic for employees still at the company more than doubling their workload and wondering if there will be more rounds of layoffs. Up until this point there has been silence from upper management on the progression of how Covid is effecting Mindbody's business. Vista the multi-billion dollar equity firm did nothing to help the company survive. In a recent meeting the CEO states that the company has tens of millions of dollars in the bank and STILL decided to lay off employees leaving them without their community and healthcare benefits. The layoffs at Mindbody were a choice not a necessity. Is Mindbody hiding behind Coivid-19 to initiate already planned layoffs so they can outsource jobs to India or area's where it cheaper to employ? Mind you India still has jobs that they are hiring for while the US is not hiring. This would not be the first time Vista has moved jobs to a more affordable region.
