Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it. As with all publishing companies, Future has experienced the need to transition into a digital media business. We've successfully done this and it's been testament to the handwork of the team. Our digital brands are flourishing and the business is moving in some incredibly exciting directions. Obviously, with this evolution comes a great amount of change, both to work processes and the products we offer. Through staff conferences, town halls and regular updates, we like to keep our staff informed and engaged in these decisions during the process. We're proud of the heritage of our brands and we have great people. We also need to remain forward focused and the people in the business need to reflect this. Our people have got us to where we are today and our teams' passions constantly reflect and align with our audiences' passions.

Pros

shiny looking website they spent an exuberant amount of money on

Cons

They exploit their employees ferociously. If you love yourself or your life - do not work for this company. Clients - don't sign up! They do programs and pretend it's custom. They spend hundreds of thousands to hire new shiny CEOs but pay their coaches around $40k/year to maintain 100 clients. You are not special - they just put up a lot of metrics to pretend to make you feel that way. No coach can actually connect with 100 clients and write a personalized program. That's why the "management" pushes coaches to use as many templates as they can. They do big lay offs of any coaches who don't want to maintain 100+ people. They also are actively working to use any/all Apple Watch data to sell and use in any way they can monetize. So DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR APPLE WATCH DATA. It's smoke and mirrors and not anything actually useful (especially for the pricepoint they are asking!)
