Pros

Unfortunately there are no Pros to working at Therabody, unless losing your sanity is considered a Pro.

Cons

There are so many cons to working at this company it's hard to name them all. To start, the entire "training" process is anything but that. You're forced to learn it all yourself, ask minimal questions, and keep up or you're cut. On top of that, after your minimal "training" you're thrown into work to fend for yourself and keep up with their entirely too high standards and micromanagement. You will also be asked to do the workload of multiple people with no raises, an unlivable hourly wage, and a toxic management team who pulls you in so many unnecessary meetings and directions a day then comes down on you for not completing their impossible workload. They fire people, then throw their workload onto the remaining team expecting them to keep up, while having a toxic manager watching their every move, questioning their work minute by minute and dissecting word by word every bit of work they do submit. Unfortunately a complaint to HR will get you no where. I worked here for a year, and unfortunately their management has only taken a turn for the worse. They have cut/lost more than 5 employees in one month, leaving customer service in the hands of 2 team members due to their stubborn mindset. They blame their team, instead of supporting them. Management will also pull you into multiple hour long meetings, grilling you until they break you down. Two breakdowns/panic attacks from two different team members due to the same manager should tell you something. HR is the most unhelpful, toxic group of people I have ever had the displeasure of working with. They hardly support team members who have complained of poor management/micromanagement. The company continues to acquire, acquire, acquire, with no training, and support to their customer service team to keep up. On top of such, is the worst QA management I have ever experienced in my years of customer service.

Pros

You get a free Theragun Pro on your first day.

Cons

I could write a list here for days but it really all starts with the CEO and upper management. The CEO is an egotistical tyrant that looms over the entire company, every department. The culture is quite simply there worst I've ever encountered. Stress levels are at an all time high always and while the people are mostly cool each one of them will throw the person next to them under the bus if it means staying on the good side of the CEO. That's how scared everyone is of him. No one is truly valued, everyone is replaceable and the Founder is a joke. They focus and prioritize the wrong projects and programs and live within their own bubble unaware of the damage they do on a daily basis. All the best talent leaves within a year of joining after realizing how the company operates. Oh and did I mention the company is flat? Yeah everyone reports into the CEO who again is unqualified and believes he can do everyone's job better than they can and do. I'd put money on the fact that all the positive reviews are from HR or people close to the CEO who are looking to further ingrain themselves to him.

Pros

There are a lot of hardworking people here (even if it is out of fear of losing their job)

Cons

The things you hear are true, trust these reviews.. and maybe question the ones that seem a little too short and fake. This is an extremely toxic work environment. The CEO is a narcissist and a tyrant. Not only will he scream and belittle people in the office in front of other staff, but he will also call them on their personal phones at 10:30pm to scream and curse at them some more (even pregnant women!). People in the office are incredibly stressed and always on eggshells, seeing people rage quit was not uncommon. CEO wants to have eyes on everything, so all workflows are incredibly slow and full of roadblocks. HR prioritizes the CEO and has no prior experience in this role, so they are not a resource. Staff is left feeling scared and stranded. No company culture, no HR accountability. CEO wants to make sure staff feel beneath him and remind staff that they work for him, not with him.

Therabody Response

We appreciate your feedback and concern around executive management. As a fast growth company we are always looking to solicit employee feedback on what we can do better for them. Therabody has tripled in size year over year since our first, fully operational year in 2017. With growth of that size, our team members are constantly challenged with new opportunities every day. This type of pace and growth can be difficult to navigate for many highly skilled employees. Long hours are oftentimes the reality in high growth startups like Therabody. With that said, we do not support after hours phone calls or weekend work, however we are a global organization and may need to connect with our colleagues in other countries - if business critical - outside of our core hours. We understand that certain communication styles aren’t effective, we are always working to improve. We have identified areas of professional growth within our leadership and organizational structure, and have put programs in place to help our leadership further develop the right tools to effectively communicate and cultivate an inspiring work force for our team. We also foster an open communication pathway between managers, employees, and HR to discuss negative or worrisome conversations. Therabody strongly encourages our employees to reach out to HR, their manager, or anyone on the leadership team to discuss concerns.
