Pros

The health benefits were great, and early on, the company was a 'presume good intent' company. I would say that is now just a smokescreen to allow negative things and put a pretty bow on them. I do, however, love startup life.

Cons

The culture has changed a great deal, as it wont to do with a startup, but it's changing in the wrong direction. Because it is growing so fast, people are being promoted who are not even remotely ready to manage people, which creates issues down the pipeline. The biggest con I can see is how much of the customer service is being sent to the Philippines. The ClassPass voice used to mean something, and was recognizable to their members, but they are now hiring people who clearly aren't a good fit, merely to save on costs and benefits. Sadly, it's the members who pay for that in difficult service.

Pros

There's some nice benefits, like ClassPass credits, good insurance, and remote.

Cons

First and foremost, if you're a POC, you need to stay far away from this place. There is absolutely no diversity, and majority of the sales org, including the leaders, are white women. The managers lack skill, and don't know how to sell or manage. They only became managers because of their connections or because they were there in the early days of ClassPass and stayed long enough to get promoted. Nothing based on merit or skill. The sales culture is very churn and burn. The retention rate is so low, and this company is like a revolving door. You become a "veteran" or senior employee if you have worked there longer than 4 months. They have extremely unrealistic goals for the sales org, and the leads are awful. And it's because the company is terrible, and doesn't invest in partner services or support, so gyms and salons tend to have a bad experience because the resources and support they have for them are abysmal. Not to mention the bad reputation that ClassPass has; if you call a lead that has been called before, you will get extremely frustrated owners. They will tell you that ClassPass reps are harassing them by constantly calling, but that is what you are taught to do as a rep. To wrap it all up, there is no diversity, incompetent leaders, and bad reputation.
