Pros

I love my actual job of teaching classes. The experience in the studio is fantastic.

Cons

The corporate team (especially the exec team) is a MESS. I saw a change when the founders left (when SoulCycle was bought) and when Melanie Whelan took over as CEO. They do not care about their employees and they do not treat their instructors fairly. We recently all got 40-50% pay cuts and were given 20 days notice before it came into effect. Soul-less if you ask me.
