Pros

Creative and fun work environment. Work life balance is outstanding as were the benefits. Their focus on health and wellness extends into providing lots of opportunities for their employees to be active. Working at MINDBODY had great community feel.

Cons

The Central Coast is an expensive place to live and unfortunately the salaries that MINDBODY offers don't always reflect that. There seems to be a reliance on Cal Poly as a source for cheap entry level work. The low pay and lack of experience shows itself in some departments with some unprofessionalism and bit of a lack of excellence. It also leads to a bit of turnover as people use the experience as a stepping stone to better paying work.

Thank you for your taking the time to share your thoughts with us. I’m glad you are taking advantage of all the benefits and wellness offerings we have! San Luis Obispo is a beautiful place to live and the people here know it. Who wouldn't want to live 10 minutes from the beach and a farmer’s market every day of the week? Unfortunately it does affect the price tag as with any area close to the water. The trade-offs are huge though- mild weather, pet friendly parks, beaches (did I mention beaches?), great wineries, and all kinds of delicious local food. At MINDBODY we make sure to beef up the perks too so you can get a massage at work or take a long vacation if you need it. Cal Poly has many accolades, including a ranking from Business Insider as one of the top 20 colleges with the smartest students. We love that these smarties want to join MINDBODY’s mission and bring their talents here. A few youngin's here might be a little rough around the edges, but with our awesome management teams I know that they are growing!

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.
