People are mostly great, Leadership and Culture lacking - Marketing Life Time Employee Review

Pros

Career mobility (If you drink the koolaid) Most people are awesome and really believe in the mission and lifestyle around health and wellness Perks of LT membership, discounts on supplements, etc. are great Benefits/insurance are good - not bad, not great Plenty of opportunities to explore other teams if your current role is not the best fit. If you commit (and bust your butt), career development and ladder climbing can happen relatively quickly.

Cons

Leadership is frustratingly inefficient Entrepreneurial mindset - which just means decisions come from the top and are gospel. It is VERY common for a project or campaign that teams have worked months on to be axed at the last minute just because an executive doesnt like it. OR a complete pivot/redo is demanded. Just as common for a NEW idea/product/program launch to come through with the utmost urgency - doesn't matter how small or pointless it seems to EVERYONE else - and takes priority over all other projects (even the ones critical for actual business function) There is an troubling culture towards the top. To make it beyond a Director level, you need to demonstrate you are a full bought-in "yes man" (or yes woman). Almost no one pushes back on ideas upward, and there is a cycle of borderline verbal and emotional abuse. It is not uncommon for a senior VP to get screamed at and berated in front of a conference room full of other "leaders" There are some great people in leadership roles, and a few not great ones, but all have sold their soul to some extent. Culture is work work work first for the shareholders. Culture is very forced, insincere and as boring as corporate culture can get.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
