* Housing in the San Luis Obispo area is expensive and in short supplyAdvice to Management
Get rid of, override, or force aside managers who stand in the way of streamlining and improving the product . There are too many applications, too many processes, and too much of multiple processes all trying to accomplish the same thing. Interdependencies make it difficult to troubleshoot and fix problems. There's no automation for software builds, deployments, or testing. These things hold us back.

"Great company for sales/marketing, not customer service"
StarStarStarStarStar- Work/Life Balance

RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at MINDBODY full-time (More than a year)
Pros
-Values: The core values of the company make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. It was one of the reasons I connected with the company initially.
-People: Most employees are very genuine and truly aim to do their best to accomplish the overall goal of the company. I've met true friends here.
-Fitness centric/great benefits: Since this is a software company tailored for wellness and fitness studios, we often receive free passes for fitness classes. Each month each employee also receives $65 wellness funds to use on any fitness or wellness service. This is a HUGE selling point for them because you can use this card for anything from fitness classes to a beauty appointment.
-Workspace- The workspaces globally are designed to reflect the culture of that country in combination with MINDBODY's thriving fitness culture, which really makes the employees feel at home.Cons
-Customer service: I wish I would have reviewed customer reviews of the software prior to accepting this position because this is the number one complaint from customers. The customer service departmnet is evolving but it definitely has a looooonnnnnggg way to go. This is the only software company I have worked at that does not provide a SLA or any resolution times for system bugs. Bugs can go unresolved for months and the customer will only receive an update if they request one. The reason for the lack of SLAs is due to liability. They do not want to be liable if they are unable to fix a bug within a certain period of time.
-The acquisition: In 2018 MINDBODY acquired three companies: Frederick, FitMetrix and Booker. Instead of allowing the merger to gradually occur, MINDBODY acquired the three companies, and immediately started selling their products within a two-month span. Because the sales reps did not have enough time to learn about each product and their nuances, there was always miscommunication between sales and the customer which resulted in numerous cancellations.
The company that may have caused the most issues thus far is FitMetrix. FitMetrix being the newer of the three companies purchased, there were a lot of kinks to work out...but not one knew about them. Since the development team consisted of 8 team members, assisting over 100 customers, the development team did not have enough members to QA the product. This resulted in failure to launch new features after they were announced during a release. When discussing features presented during the release, the development team members often lacked details about how the features worked. If a bug was caused due to a new feature being released, the customer service department was not notified, so we received this information from our customers when they called to complain.
- Hardware: FitMetrix sells heart rate monitors to customers to resell to their members. The functionality of these devices is unstable. Many customers, from enterprise, to small business owners, have returned heart rate monitors IN BULK. The issues with these devices range from not charging, the data provided is incorrect, and they will stop working after 2 months. I had a customer return an order of 400.
- Values: This falls into both sections because although the values are great, the company does not uphold these values consistently. For example, one of the values is consciously evolving. As a software company, MINDBODY is very behind in regards to the technology they provide to their employees and their flexibility.Advice to Management
nstead of using your core values as fluff, use it to improve the engagement between your team members and customers. These core values are used to draw talent to the company, so each employee should truly embody these values. Stop being reactive and start being more proactive. It is not uncommon for a product team to develop a timeline as to when features and system bug fixes will be released. If the product team planned accordingly, they can provide accurate ETAs moving froward.
If you hire employees who are creative and ambitious, you should allow them to be exactly that. Placing a timeframe on when employees can move forward to new positions, limits them and can often discourage them from interviewing internally.MINDBODY 2019-01-29 03:52 PSTHelpful (5)

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at MINDBODY full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The CEO is very passionate and genuine about health and wellness. The culture for the most part aligns with that goal in mind. Great place if you work under the right leadership.
Cons
Toxic environment if you work with the wrong leader. Key positions within the company are held by tenured employees who don't have the knowledge or experience to be in those positions.
Advice to Management
Mindbody grew faster than expected and many of the processes within the organization weren't built for scale. Take a breather to fix those processes before planning on growing any further.

Pros
Wellness card you can use every month, 20 days PTO, 3 sick days, paid holidays work/life balance
Cons
Mismanagement, lack of long-term product vision, lots of favoritism and office politics. Complete lack of clarity and communication from leadership as priorities change constantly.
If you're not working in SLO you're a second-class citizen, and will struggle to develop your career.Advice to Management
The core values need to be more than lip service among leadership.
Invest in your talent and set structured development plans for career advancement.
Value opposing views, that's how innovation and progress happen. There's too much groupthink.
Hire some leadership that have a vision and can see it through.
Stop treating your non-SLO offices as an afterthought.MINDBODY 2019-01-20 17:49 PST
