SoulCycle is making this world a better place!

Pros

This company has it ALL! Starting from the beginning they are welcoming, invested in your training/development, and strive to build a culture that is unlike any other company I have worked for! I come to work excited to be here and love that I make an impact in this growing company! There is constantly opportunities to grow in the company especially with the high growth we are experiencing in the upcoming years! Coming to work with a smile on your face and working with a team/extended team that cares is PRICELESS! Even with the amount of work to be done, I find myself enjoying my work and the people that I work with-its the best!

Cons

Our company is constantly moving and grooving so there is always work to be done! This isn't necessary a con but be prepared to WORK! Since our studios are open about 18 hours out of the day, you must come in with the understanding that you will have to work some late/early days and on weekends-it is the nature of the job!

A SoulCycle culture fit!

Pros

SoulCycle is a quickly growing company, believes and trusts its employees, and the culture is bar none the most incredible to be apart of! SoulCycle's core is about creating a community and I have had the opportunity to do this as an employee at Soul. I have made lifelong friends via fellow managers, instructors, staff, employees, and even riders. There is no cookie cutter type of manager, which enables different personalities and management styles to drive the business. The reputation of the workout speaks for itself and I can only echo that magic is created in that room!

Cons

Working at SoulCycle requires a lifestyle adjustment, as it is a company that is open 365 days a year throughout different timezones. This isn't for everyone, but if you can adapt, the benefits outweigh the 5AM alarm clocks or the Saturday holidays in studio.

Pros

Great people! There are so many wonderful people who work for SoulCycle; it's a joy to get to work with everyone here. Everyone is working towards a common goal (of growing and building the company), which makes for a supportive and team-oriented environment. Working for a company that's growing naturally provides countless opportunities to be exposed to new projects and challenges, which allows you to grow as a professional.

Cons

This is not be the place for you if you're someone who loves stability and wants a very "black and white" job description with low expectations. If you're a high performer, have a good work ethic and like a challenge (while working with a good team), work at SoulCycle!
