If you want to be a part of a mission-driven company that offers affordable health & fitness products, Beachbody is it! -Competitive compensation & great benefits/perks -Career advancement opportunities within your department or others

Cons

No cons. However, processes can always be improved and fine tuned. Especially in growth mode, things can feel a little chaotic. But if you thrive in fast-paced environments, you will do well here.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Can workout during the day (in office only) Access to online workouts

Cons

Good luck using that unlimited PTO Everyone is a director or VP and most of them are terrible at their jobs Middle management is top heavy with directors, sr. directors, executive directors Departments don't work well with each other Those 4 and 5 start reviews are written by marketing This place is really toxic. I once saw a contractor get driven out because one of the 25 project managers talked smack about them to anyone who would listen and their boss did nothing about it. I've watched as projects fell into chaos and the directors who lead those projects got promoted despite it. I've seen people alienated and ridiculed. Too many bosses, not enough workers things don't get done on time. It is a popularity contest and the longer you kiss up to management the more likely you will stay. Lots of lay offs. People don't work well across departments. Lots of gossip. If you aren't at director level good luck moving up in the company. There is always a fire. Lots of useless meetings. They think culture means lots of Zoom meetings and talking about drinking and partying. If I didn't need the healthcare benefits I'd be outta here. BTW shakeology is just sugar water with some protein powder thrown in and the coaches don't have to know anything about fitness. They are sales people who make money off of the suckers who sign up.

Pros

Amazing people, flexible schedule, free nutrition supplements. Seriously some of the best co workers you will ever meet. Most people are positive minded and really look out for each other to make sure everyone has what they need to do their job well.

Cons

Leadership sometimes thinks they know better than the experts they hired. And sometimes they do, but often this leads to some real missed opportunities.

Pros

Amazing place to work, love it.

Cons

Santa Monica is a hard place to commute to.

Pros

Beachbody is a great place to work. I have felt that ever since I joined and my feelings have only been reinforced during this unprecedented time. Beachbody has been decisive and generous from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quickly moving to work from home even before the the city mandate. From the beginning, they provided employees with a work from allowance which has since been increased to help cover internet costs and the like. They have delivered office furniture and computer equipment to employees that request it. The company organized employee zoom training sessions on being effective in a remote work environment. Weekly Ask Me Anything events where the CEO answers any questions with honesty and transparency. The commitment to our continued safety is much appreciated as many of us continue to be concerned. During this time of incredible chaos and uncertainty, management had has been unflinchingly steady and focused, and I am grateful to be a part of this organization.

Cons

Everyone is working really hard. Sometimes we need more reminders to take a break.
