Beachbody Reviews

Pros

Good PTO plan but one will need a manager that lets them use it. Pay is competitive but don't count on the bonus. The products and services are well produced.

Cons

If you are one inspired by the collaborative process, then this is not the place for you. There is little cross-departmental communication and the communication within the departments is very top down. In fact, information is hoarded for job security reasons. Understandably so because most senior managers and above still feel the sting and relief of surviving a HUGE layoff in 2017. If you are one inspired by innovation, this is not the place for you. The tech is a patchwork of old systems; data-driven individuals will find this place extremely frustrating. Any new tech implemented has been overlaid disorganized data management systems. Do you enjoy meetings where you are the audience to the same six egos? Again, back to the lack of collaboration, plus meetings are not managed effectively, especially by Lencioni standards.

Pros

Set own hours relatively positive environment Great workouts Great mission statement

Cons

Corporate has problems with business direction BEACHBODY also owns open fit- a competitor. Comp plan can breed a toxic environment Many distributors will slam each other behind their backs to benefit High turnover Overweight people trying to be fitness pros Company and distribution field uses lots of Rah rah and hype A huge amount of distributors are discount buyers. Coaches enroll anyone to hit a rank for their own benefit Much of the network are people new to MLM . The company focuses to much on recognition, and not solid proven business acumen for distributors to actually build something sustainable coaches are taught to spam people with Hey girl messages. Sub par technology for the field

Pros

The contemporary beautiful building is in a great location in Santa Monica. Snacks, shakes, coffee machine, and food truck were nice little perks. Free swag every now and then and paid dinners for working late.

Cons

I worked there nearly a year and the only time I went to lunch with my team was when it was someone's birthday. There is a huge lack of camaraderie throughout the company. It feels like everyone is on his/her own island scrambling to get their job done since they fired so many people. My manager left 2 months in and was never replaced. This caused me to spend all but two months scrambling to get my work done. I assumed most of his roles and was denied any extra compensation. If you don't mind working in a terrible work environment and do not care about the culture, the pay is generous. You also have a chance to get promoted several times with all of the people getting let go.
