Pros

Unlimited PTO, casual dress code. A majority of the company is under 30 and maintain close friendships outside the office.

Cons

ClassPass started off as a fun startup with lots of promise, but after the constant changes in staff and business model it became a miserable place to work. There were once a lot of perks (free unlimited ClassPass membership, catered meals, etc.) but once leadership took those away, we were just left with a low salary and long work hours. Promotions were hard to come by and when there was an opening, they promoted people with less experience and professionalism. ClassPass always promoted transparency but only when it suited them. Everything was all for show. They favored "yes" people and chastised those who spoke up and as a result, people just kept their heads down. Many of the changes to the business model felt deceptive to the consumer as well as to the studio partners. With the large number of people who have left, been laid off, or fired in the past few months it seems that more people are finally seeing that this place wasn't as great as it once appeared.

Pros

There's some nice benefits, like ClassPass credits, good insurance, and remote.

Cons

First and foremost, if you're a POC, you need to stay far away from this place. There is absolutely no diversity, and majority of the sales org, including the leaders, are white women. The managers lack skill, and don't know how to sell or manage. They only became managers because of their connections or because they were there in the early days of ClassPass and stayed long enough to get promoted. Nothing based on merit or skill. The sales culture is very churn and burn. The retention rate is so low, and this company is like a revolving door. You become a "veteran" or senior employee if you have worked there longer than 4 months. They have extremely unrealistic goals for the sales org, and the leads are awful. And it's because the company is terrible, and doesn't invest in partner services or support, so gyms and salons tend to have a bad experience because the resources and support they have for them are abysmal. Not to mention the bad reputation that ClassPass has; if you call a lead that has been called before, you will get extremely frustrated owners. They will tell you that ClassPass reps are harassing them by constantly calling, but that is what you are taught to do as a rep. To wrap it all up, there is no diversity, incompetent leaders, and bad reputation.
