Pros
I am going to be honest, Gympass is not for everyone. We are a fast paced company that is new to the US and learning our way through it. As you can imagine, the US is a HUGE market and with that comes growing/learning pains. If you are not one who can handle change or the typical ebbs and flows of a start-up, then maybe Gympass isn't for you. However, if you can handle it then I can promise you you will not be bored and every day will come with new challenges.
I'm not sure where these comments about the HR team are coming from. In my personal experience they have been nothing but helpful and willing to make Gympass the best place it can be. They throw events(that has the BEST food and drinks), provide advice if/when needed, and also seem genuinely and truly happy/willing to help. I myself have had questions about my career and where I want to be- they have listened as a sounding board and have guided me with my concerns.
Yes sometimes its frustrating when they bring someone else from Brazil, but to be completely logical- What else do we expect? If it was an American company going to a different country- we would send our leaders to open those new markets.
Having worked here for over a year (almost 2) I can truly say I am happy where I am. I learn something new everyday, I have grown exponentially since I've been here, and I have gotten exposure and experience that I don't think I could have gotten anywhere else. Does this mean I haven't been frustrated? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I have had my fair share of wine after an infuriating day of work, but who in the world hasn't?
To conclude my ridiculously long review here, I will just say- the majority of the time reviews are going to be negative. You only ever leave reviews if you're angry *cough* Yelp *cough* I'm just here to throw some positivity in the world and set the record straight. Don't listen to the disgruntled former employees- but one who is still here!
Cons
Get ready to get your hands dirty; you will be pulled in a bunch of directions and feel like you can't get your feet under you. Then one day you'll be on a call and know the answer to something and you will feel utterly vindicated and all your hard work will fall into place.
Hard work will pay off- don't be afraid of it.
