Pros

Rigorous Exercises, most of the teachers are great personalities and very skilled

Cons

- Front Desk role is deceptively advertised as being in the managers words "insanely easy" when actually management freaks out about literally everything and expects you to handle most of their sales, memberships, and marketing, management blames you when their numbers are not met -Management is overworked and takes out their frustrations from owners onto staff -Owners are cheap and refuse to invest in more efficient (and expensive) email marketing and MindBody services making tons of extra unnecessary work for everyone involved -Strict cancellation policy wherein I saw multiple clients immediately turn on the studio when they were charged insane fees or their requests were completely ignored. Multiple clients sustained injuries or fell ill and were still unable to cancel their memberships without signing a piece of paper when there were multiple recorded conversations between management and them that they wanted to cancel and could physically not attend -New San Francisco location is incredibly over priced for the amenities they offer (ex: 2 single stall bathrooms for a capacity of up to 35 people)

Pros

A job where you can wear leggings and play your own music. Yes please! Amazing environment. People are terrific, from the instructors to the clients and the front desk staff. The schedule is perfect, you can create your own hours and work with others to make an ideal schedule. The owners give you freedom to run the business and are open to your ideas. There is support from them and their assistant when you need it without constant check ins. There is more opportunity for growth then any other business I've been a part of. The buisiness is growing rapidly. Pay is very competitive for the industry.

Cons

Wish there was more support and feedback. The owners are business savvy and treat their employees as such. They don't need to baby you every day and rather, treat you as an equal, with all the good and bad that goes with that. If you can't handle criticisms or take coldness well, they may not be your ideal bosses. But they are great people and truly care for every person they employ and the whole business they run. If you are hourly, there are no benefits. You don't get into this business for the money so the environment outweighs this.
