Pikesville location: Stay Away! - General Manager Stretch Zone Employee Review

Flexible hours, great management and coworkers

Nothing that comes to mind, great student job

Co workers are cool but management dislikes when ur friends with your co workers

If you’re looking for a workplace that respects your time, communicates clearly, and values its employees—this is not it. Leadership is a major issue here. There’s a noticeable lack of professionalism, including instances of being spoken over, having words put in your mouth, and being talked down to instead of listened to. Concerns aren’t addressed—they’re dismissed, often with “attitude adjustment” conversations rather than actual solutions. Work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. You’re expected to prioritize the job above everything else, despite compensation that doesn’t reflect those expectations. Scheduling is disorganized and inconsistent, and even when feedback is offered to improve it, it’s ignored. There’s also a clear disconnect between management and staff. Managers work standard weekday hours with no night or weekend presence, yet still criticize those shifts for underperforming—without offering support or firsthand understanding of those challenges. My final experience summed it up: a conversation with ownership that escalated into raised voices and misrepresentation of my reasons for leaving. I chose to walk out rather than continue being disrespected. There are better places to work that will treat you like a professional, not a problem.
