Mindbody reviews

Micro-management..and fosters toxic work environment.

Despite what I write here I challenge anyone to find a better place to work in SLO County and arguably other regions we have offices in: We lack alignment in company goals and have for several years. A company should operate like an orchestra, everyone playing towards the same outcome. Not one department playing rock, one playing reggae, one playing classical, one playing hip-hop, and the other playing salsa; pretending we don’t notice that everyone is working towards something different. The ego of many created the mess we found ourselves in before our acquisition and our new owners are helping us untangle it but at the costs of thousands of dollars in consulting help and people hours of an already stretched leadership team that could have been prevented had we had clarity passed from the top down, aligning together towards a common outcome. We’ll get there, it is just frustrating that claiming “we didn’t know how and that’s why we agreed to a buyout” is what we as employees were being told. Humbug. It comes down to ego(s) plain and simple. If we do not work towards the same common goals across all departments, and we still don’t have these established today; the outcome is that we work against each other. And it isn’t done maliciously, we just have more managing up than managing down and that results in only siloed department needs being considered. Without the right people in the right room at the top making common decisions towards a common goal, chaos ensues downstream.
