Great work culture - Franchise Business Consultant Purpose Brands Employee Review

The Chuck and Dave aura is real....they are truly amazing humans and business leaders. Consistently put franchisees and employees ahead of short term business metrics. Loved the office vibes. Wellbeing Fridays. Summer parking lot concerts. Fall firepit chats.

New CEO came onboard through the merger and while smart, sharp and savvy, lacks the empathy, leadership inspiration and coolness that was here...I fear the best days of SEB are behind us.

Nothing, the old culture that Chuck and Dave built with Self Esteem Brands is dead.

The company (pre-merger) used to care about its employees and the culture it built. Once Chuck and Dave stepped down, it went downhill fast. Merging with Orange Theory was the worse possible thing they could have done to kill ANY of the positives this company had. It wasn’t even a merger, it was a takeover. The current CEO is so out of touch with times and his employees that it’s laughable. Want to adopt a hybrid work to balance life and work? Nope, that’s out the door. Why? Because he wants meetings to happen in the office when all meetings happen over MS Teams anyways. Even when you’re in the office. It’s basically a way to justify paying for the property. Not only that, they want you to work harder and not get paid what you’re worth. Stay far and away from this company.
