Pros

Good place to work part-time, great discount, free yoga classes, introductions to new workout classes, great co-workers, happy customers, overall healthy work environment.

Cons

I had one Manager that was one of the most inspiring and insightful people I have ever worked with. However, she was often out of the store and the assistant manager was hateful and created a very hostile and unpleasant work environment. There is a lot of pressure to socialize with your co-workers and at times feels like a never ending popularity contest.

Pros

They pay for you to workout and you meet a ton of people. It's a great launching pad because you will be thrown into a crazy network of people not to mention get to know many wealthy guests who are regulars at the store. The culture of the brand is very positive and good for writing down your goals.

Cons

Challenges are that it's mostly women who work at the store which can be overwhelming at times. Depending on your store there can be major drama. Other things include super clickiness or even personality differences can be an issue of wether or not you can move up to your next role. If they like you, then you can move up. Also they document every little thing about you in this book and watch for patterns they want to fix about you. If you sense that you are not liked by management watch your back because they will write down anything they can in this book and talk about it in there management meetings and then figure out ways they can fire you.

Pros

free yoga! discount on yoga apparel! ... some pretty funny guests experiences.

Cons

Where to begin? If you aren't immature, unprofessional, prepare to be forgotten or if you are any of those prepare to be attacked. If you mind your own business and have no desire to move up in the company - good for you! but If you do want to make a name for yourself, a difference within and in the surrounding community, prepare yourself to kiss somebodys behind. Whose best friend will you be? who will you spend every second outside of work drinking wine with and gossiping with?? haters hate and its the culture. leadership of self is never ever displayed and consistency and commitments are only made to those that are favored by any management. Sucks. but its the whole truth - especially since I went to HR, Regional and area manager and they still did nothing until the management team decided to tell their side of the story, only then did they take action. yikes. I know what the difference is with listening and actually listening and what morally is right and wrong. Its who you know, not what you do that gets you to your next position. The culture, your goals, you team efforts, your ideas mean nothing unless you have a position of management and a team of followers. Dont be a part of that.
