Pros

ClassPass has the opportunity to be a pioneer in the fitness space.

Cons

Senior management team lacking real vision and strategy Toxic culture in dissaray with male leaders fostering a 'glass ceiling' environment and hierarchy Underwhelming product and tech teams keeping the company behind other fast-moving startups Shameless Founder completely consumed by her own quest for fame and the limelight Questionable growth trajectory relying too heavily on gimmicky marketing tactics and deep discounts Fragile business model not necessarily serving both sides of the marketplace An HR team that is completely incompetent

They Never Got The OK For My Position To Exist

CEO approval

Pros

People were friendly, Kitchen was decently stocked with a mix of Healthy/Snack Foods - including Gluten Free

Cons

When I showed up for my in-person interview, I had to wait for about 20-30 minutes after I arrived, because the manager was busy. It seemed like a good fit otherwise, and I started a week later. When I arrived for my first day of work, I couldn't help noticing that they seemed very disorganized about basic on-boarding & company introduction matters. My manager seemed hesitant to answer a lot of my questions as well. At the end of my first day, I was told that they had never received approval from Finance for my position to exist, and that there was no budget for it. So, I was let go. It's hard to imagine to imagine how a company could be this negligent & irresponsible - but needless to say, it left a very negative impression on me, and I'd be wary of working with them in the future.

Sweatshop for millennials

Pros

There are definitely benefits of working at a well funded startup but they mainly fall under the perks which put a smoke screen over the many negatives of working there: - You get 200 credits a month to work and experience all the wellness and fitness benefits such as free massages and workouts - There are a number of offices in the US and globally which means you get some opportunity to travel - They have a large budget so you can command a big salary if you are in the right role and get a descent size budget to work with in your team - They offer stock options

Cons

While there are a lot of perks, the micro managing and unrealistic expectations make working here intolerable. It is very much a company run by millennials and particularly being such a female dominated company, where that should be seen as a positive thing, has turned the culture into a catty, nasty and vindictive place where gossiping, back stabbing destroying your personal brand with other teams is the order of the day. The feminist flag is flying high around the office, so god help you if you are a straight white male looking to work here as this is almost frowned upon. Even in the marketing material you are pushed at every corner to show diversity without real logic and reasoning. The senior managers particularly on the marketing side of things can pretend to be nice to you one day, but can switch into a ferocious mood the next where you are treated with a mild neglect. There is also a huge clicky nature in the office where many people have worked together at previous companies, and thus the favoritism is already ripe in the team, leaving you with little room to make an impression and fit in. If they decide they don't like you or that you don't fit the click your time there is going to feel very lonely and you will be working with people who pretend to like you but most likely are writing horrible things about you on slack. My best advice to people looking to apply here, pick up the red flags early in the interview process. Try get as much out of your hiring manager from the get go. Extrapolate who they are as a person, what their expectations are and pick up any clues that this person might be difficult to work for. This was something I picked up but still gave her the benefit of the doubt, but would urge anyone to proceed with caution.
