Bodybuilding.com Employee Reviews about "great benefits"

Pros

Good place to work with great benefits. Compared to my wife's benefits with a bigger company in town we are better off with mine. The company cares about employees and even in hard times still takes care of us.

Cons

We still have too many employees that don't care about their jobs or the company leaving work for everyone else on the team and company. The company is too slow to get rid of dead weight.

Pros

- Great benefits - Good office environment -Passionate Employees and even mid-level managenet

Cons

- Organization structure - Lacks priority and proper Goals - Constantly shifting focus - Focusing on eCommerce instead of merging Data/Content and Information into a profitable powerhouse

Pros

Great 401K Match, Great Benefits, FTO, (Although, at one point we had to write our name on an 8ft by 10ft White Board Calendar for days we were taking off. Usually wouldn't be an issue, until the statement of "We will see who wants to keep writing their name up there" was made), Gym

Cons

Serious Micromanagement (other departments asking to be included in marketing planning, not for visibility but for approval, seemingly pulling mandate outside of their area of focus). Lack of trust in mid-level management and specialist level. Complete lack of knowledge in processes and workflow complexities. Short-term leadership outlook. Leaders lack tact (C-Suite employees stating they "forget what it's like to be one of you" from a stage at an all-hands meeting). Monotonous work (sale, sale, sale), churning and burning eCommerce discounts, which pulls time and resources away from things that should be number one priority (content, subscriptions, etc.). Customer-first focus is whimsical, not tangible.

Pros

Flexible schedule, great benefits, fantastic mission statement

Cons

Very poor pay, lack of communication, siloed work environment, dated technology and systems, no career growth opportunities

Pros

Super company with great benefits. From day one they made this the best career move ever. Recruiting me was the best experience I have ever had with a company. New plans for the company future are energizing and promising. Most people are here to make the company successful. Good vibes mostly.

Cons

Sour and negative employees that are not down for change and make it bad for new employees who want to succeed personally and help the company succeed. Work a lot of hours but mainly it is because there are a lot of lazy employees left from the past. Not even balanced working hours for people on same teams is not fair.

Pros

Great and unique company. Great benefits and a really fun environment to work. They really try and focus and help motivate employees to embody a healthy lifestyle by having all sorts of rewards programs for fitness activities and an onsite gym. It's really great to work for a company where the customer isn't just a dollar, but an actual person who can benefit from the information and eventually products available on the site.

Cons

Great company but not really structured for a longevity career type place to work. Unfortunately a lot of employees have to use Bodybuilding.com as a stepping stone to move onto something else. Company culture is unique, but cannot compensate for lower wages. Also, management needs to be trained on how to be managers. Employees are promoted because they embody the culture, but not trained how to manage and lead a team.

Pros

- Great benefits (Health, dental, vision, 401k... etc etc) - Fun culture to learn about, cool events, lots of free swag - Great place to gain experience - There are a lot of cool employees - Great office building at HQ. (Basketball court, large field, really nice gym, showers) - Fast paced work that keeps you busy.

Cons

- Underpaid for the amount of work they put you through, - Managers will lie to you, even if they are easy to get along with. - If you don't bro-culture to their bro-standards... it can be a little awkward (I tried) - No matter how much good work you put out, how good your reviews, or how much you are improving, you are expendable in the end. - No room for growth. At the most you'll go from "Job Title" to "Senior Job Title"

Pros

The company provides great benefits, and the people who work there are amazing. They do a lot of employee relations things, like BBQs on fridays in the summer, a Santa party around Christmas, and a lot of departmental contests. Also there is a fantastic gym onsite and aminos on tap :)

Cons

The communication between departments in this company is not good. Terrible might be a better word. They need to assume the best in people and invest in specific learning and development programs in all departments, which might be some time, since they just had to reduce the workforce.

Pros

Great benefits, great people, and great opportunity outside of customer service.

Cons

Personal growth and promotions are hard to come by unless you are a personal friend of the boss. I worked in customer service for over 6 years, and felt disrespected instead of valued for my insight. Anywhere in the company is wonderful, except CS. HR is useless when making legitimate managerial complaints, and will rarely take the side of the employee. Time-off used to be easy to get, but leadership in customer service changed, so that changed as well.
