Pros

Near mrt. Nice teacher. Nothing much seriously!

Cons

Front desk are the studio cleaner. Contract aunty cleaner only comes in 2 to 3 hours, three times a week for only two hours per visit. It's more to cleaning entire studio, changing rooms, ensuring no hair strands, mop the Yoga mat, wash yoga blocks, straps, bala bangles, clean practice room mirrors, vacuuming Clean studio, changing room, mop yoga mat,wash blocks, straps, bala bangles ,refilling soap dispenser in changing room - basically cleaning is the primary jobscope! Customer service is only 5 % jobscope! Don't believe the jobscope advertised nothing of the sort.

Pros

- The community of students is diverse, there’s a consistent flow of classes - Convenient locations and kinda decent facilities for students

Cons

- Class styles are repetitive which quickly leads to boredom for instructors and students. You should adhere to SOPs and KPIs for each class type, leaving little room for creativity or innovation - The management is toxic, practicing blatant favoritism and being two-faced. This creates a hostile work environment that contributes to high turnover among instructors and front desk - The studio attracts a large number of ClassPass users, resulting in poor studio etiquette and lack of respect for the space and teachers and other students - Gossip is rampant especially among front desk about managment, which adds to the overall negative vibes occasionally - The company is more focused on franchising and scaling business than on employee benefits and retention. This leads to a thrifty and stingy approach to supplies and staff salaries - The quality of yoga props is poor, with cheap towels, mats, and blocks. There are no bolsters provided, which affects the overall experience for teachers and students - Instructors are not allowed to incorporate much creativity into their classes, such as sound healing or mandala flows. This limits the teaching experience and the ability to offer a unique class but over saturated with Pop Up style classes that are paid similarly to regular classes - You are expected to find your own class covers even when you're very sick and on MC, and they will cancel class if you can't find anyone - Despite being around for 12 years, YM only started giving CPF about four years ago, which shows a lack of commitment to employee welfare. Just ask the staff which stayed for a longer period (only a few) or those who have left and pop in time to time for fun - Schedules can be delayed and messy, based on your assigned Area Manager, which causes alot of confusion for students who want a consistent weekly practice - Most teachers are all part timers as they have their own full time jobs already. You need to teach ALOT to get a decent pay which leads to burnout. Most teachers aspire to leave YM eventually for PURE or HOM Yoga
