Pros

Many inspiring, impassioned people working here albeit under very unfortunate management and CEO. It's a great place to work for some, but heavily dependent on the team. Some teams aren't around the BS. Also, it's a paycheck. And you get insurance & a 401k match.

Cons

If you want to kill your creative spirit, work here! They have a terrible reputation locally AND in the industry. If Gaia customers only knew how fraudulent they are, how shady the company is, and how they run their business... All they care about is the bottom line, to profit off the mindful movement. They'll woo you with their mission, management will deliver an inspiring speech, and you'll be enticed to work here because you're "changing the world". But it's one of the least mindful companies out there. Most employees leave on terrible terms. Highlights: Bad energy in office, fear-mongering, "butts in seats" mentality, you will be a puppet, high employee turnover, lots of ego..and for what?, you will probably be fired if you don't believe in conspiracy theories About that lifestyle video they put on here... Basically, the CEO said "make a video asap about how great we are". Nobody wanted to speak in it. It's fake propaganda.

Pros

- Intentional, beautiful, prime location campus with plants, crystals, office views that will warm your heart, and breathtaking walking trails - Delicious cafe on site with worldly cuisine that changes every day, generous salad bar, breakfast bar, coffee bar, you name it - Competitive salaries - An entire world of possibilities for career growth, deep learning, and personal development if you seize the available opportunities and have the right level of emotional intelligence - Creme de la creme of colleagues. Just all around genuine, hard working people who live and share the vision, are kind, compassionate, and truly supportive, no matter how outside the box you want to think! - Can't forget that amazing (one of a kind) benefits package with options for stress management and alternative care in the most affordable way!

Cons

- Some people tend to "quiet quit" which makes hard for their team to pick up slack - Sometimes hiring takes a while and the team absorbs the workload while the right candidate is hired
