Pros

Working at SoulCycle can be awesome. There can be really great people that you work with and meet, and you get free classes. It can be a spiritual transformation while working there and you really can grow as a person. It all depends on your studio management though.

Cons

It's more of a personality job than an actually workload job. You have to mesh with certain personalities and show that you can handle all the different characters of the studio and riders until you can get promoted. You can only get promoted and move into another position if your higher ups like you, because it's all based on recommendations and you can't actually earn a position for yourself. They expect much more of you than a typical part time job, and there's times where this is so frustrating . The company culture can be EXTREMELY toxic, and it's important that you separate yourself from the studio or else it can consume your life. It can be really fake as they preach a lot of values that aren't actually implemented, and expect a crazy amount of dedication from you.
