ClassPass is a ticking time bomb - Anonymous ClassPass Employee Review

Pros

- ClassPass is a sexy fitness startup that still seems to have investors eating out of the palm of its hand, so it's an exciting time to be there. - Benefits include an essentially unlimited ClassPass membership, which means you can work out / take advantage of wellness perks for free. - The people are passionate, dedicated, and incredibly hard working. Some of my best friends and mentors to this day are people I met during my tenure at ClassPass. - Career experience is unlike any other. By the time I left I felt like I'd worked for 10 years and gotten an MBA.

Cons

- Studio partners hate ClassPass. Partner Devs are given unrealistic goals and pushed to the limit to sell to studios, who are misled about the product and brought on board with unrealistic expectations. Account managers have the most difficult job at the company. - Internally, all power has been consolidated under three men. Smart, admirable women who had been role models to so many have all been driven out and the "female-founded" tag has become meaningless. - There is no growth opportunity unless you are one of the chosen few favorited by leadership. Hard work, leadership, and dedication are not rewarded, and employees generally are not valued by management. - The company culture that once made ClassPass a great place to work disappeared with the incredible people who built the company and bowed out in the last two years. - Compensation is laughable.

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.
