Pros

CEO is a friendly, intelligent guy who really cares about his employees at a surface level. PTO, benefits, pay average at best. Free pilates classes and discount on equipment. Casual dress code

Cons

TOXIC MANAGEMENT. I've never been treated lower than as an employee at Balanced Body. I worked with the sales team and the three managers in charge run the department miserably. Examples: Phone lines need to be open so someone was always live and available to take customer calls, even though we checked our voicemails often. Wave goodbye to your friend as you take your lunch shift. At one point, the warehouse was infested with cockroaches and water bugs. No one in management cared and they were literally EVERYWHERE. Sales managers offered/threatened the sales team to work holidays in order to get their commission, forcing team members away from their families in order to answer phones for early black friday sales and keep their pay. We had a rule implemented from the main sales manager called the 60 second rule - we were not allowed to talk to our fellow coworkers about things unrelated to work for longer than 60 seconds or we would get in trouble. Talk about being treated like preschool kids. These are just a few examples. Our sales team was an awesome group of people and everyone hated management. Turnover was constant.

Pros

Warehouse and production are willing to take people with no experience and train you. Constant Mon-Fri (40hr week) so you can actually develop productive habits outside of work. Safety conscious team, both in training with new tools as well as dealing with injuries. Almost monthly lunches from the company. Overtime (50hr week) should you want it. Benefits (401k/Medical/Dental/Vision) Company provide drinks on hotter days (95+) as well as occasionally offering earlier shifts to avoid the hottest part of the day. Experienced members of the team are always willing to help learn and share experience to help improve skills faster.

Cons

Pay is bordering minimum wage, many nearby companies offer far more. Overtime is almost non stop. Although that can cycle weekly, 2 on 2 off / 3 on 1 off, constant requests to continue overtime for normal weeks and/or working Saturday too. As with many warehouse positions, staying cool through late spring/summer is not exactly realistic. If you can't manage physical work during high temperatures, would not recommend. Really high turnover of new employees, it feels mainly due to the workload/overtime shock, although many people who have been around long term aren't happy with how poorly you are compensated for the amount of work and pressure to meet deadlines.
