Pros

Great company culture and team members. There was, for the most part (and more so before the layoffs in October) a good work/life balance and I never was overly stressed about work and I could take days off and sick days and not be worried about it. Lots of days off as well.

Cons

Ever since layoffs and new CEO, who at first seemed to be a great change that the company needed, things had gone very downhill. CEO sent out a company-wide email, clearly a spur of the moment/angry written email, saying that our "wellness days" (Days that he claimed were meant to be once a month for us to log off, detach from work and focus on ourselves and wellness) were actually NOT meant to be days off and that we should all still be available, reachable, checking slack/email EVERY day of the week. Even weekends. That is not a job or company that values work/life culture and that I did not want to work for. Now, I recently left the company before this next CEO failure of taking away the PTO payout promise July 1 since we would officially switch over to an unlimited PTO plan collectively, but 5 weeks from that July 1 date he sent out another company wide email basically saying jk! thats too expensive! Not sure how he wasn't EXPECTING and didn't know the cost MB would incur from doing this, since everyone stopped accruing PTO January 2023. It completely screwed over employees who have not been taking off any time this entire first half of the year in order to get their PTO payout July 1 and now are sh*t out of luck and have 5 weeks to use as much as they can and still leaving many with many hours unaccounted for and will essentially just go to waste. The entire ELT team now seems chaotic, unprofessional, and the new CEO acts on emotions and makes rash decisions instead of actually thinking anything through. Glad I left when I did.

Pros

During my time at Mindbody, I was fortunate to work in an incredibly supportive team environment. The team was collaborative, fostering a positive and productive atmosphere where everyone’s ideas were valued. My managers played a key role in creating this supportive culture. They were not only approachable and encouraging, but also inspiring leaders who gave me the freedom to take initiative and grow within my role. One of the most rewarding aspects of my experience was the creative freedom I was given. I had the opportunity to explore new ideas and approach challenges in innovative ways, which made the work both exciting and fulfilling. This level of trust and autonomy helped me build my confidence, expand my skills, and develop as a professional. Additionally, the work culture at Mindbody emphasized collaboration, making it easy to share ideas and tackle problems togethe

Cons

While my experience at Mindbody was largely positive, there were a few challenges I encountered. One significant issue was the constant turnover in leadership. This frequent change in management created a sense of instability, as new leaders would often come in with different priorities and approaches. As a result, it sometimes felt like no one was on the same page, leading to a lack of direction and clarity. This inconsistency caused a fair amount of disorganization within the company, making it difficult to align on goals and strategies. The shifting leadership dynamics created some challenges in maintaining a consistent workflow and made it harder to build long-term plans. Despite the supportive team environment, this lack of continuity in leadership was a noticeable drawback.
