Pros

Amazing perks and gives you the opportunity to have a very healthy and fit lifestyle. Most studios have partnerships with the nearest Equinox gyms and boutique fitness chains. All Soul employees can take free class at any studio and bring guests.

Cons

The pay is terrible. Managers start off making $50K a year. In markets where the cost of living is much lower this is okay, but in NYC or LA it’s impossible to live off this pay. The pay gap between instructors and the field is the company’s biggest issue. You’re working with top instructors that make a few hundred thousand dollars a year so no wonder the budget for field pay is so low.

Pros

Great place to work with a friendly and supportive team. Everyone is approachable and willing to help, which makes onboarding and day-to-day work much easier. The work environment is collaborative, and management is generally flexible and understanding. Overall, it's a positive workplace where people genuinely want to see each other succeed for the most part.

Cons

While the immediate team was excellent, upper management often appeared disorganized. It was challenging to receive timely feedback on performance, and the review and compensation processes lacked clear communication and transparency.
