Hostile work environment - Anonymous employee Yoga Tree Employee Review

Free Classes, Clean Studio, Friendly Staff

Navigating through Covid-19 and transitioning to online studios led to unemployment and pause in growth opportunities

Pros - helping kind and appreciative yoga students and teachers get to their class and keeping the studio organized. Also you get free yoga classes for working there, if you choose to go. The facade of the studio and the community of students are nice.

Superficial workplace. Poor management. Poor scheduling. Poor behaviour towards staff by the new scheduling coordinator. They will not care what hours or days you give, be prepared to neglected/not scheduled if not liked by management. They also keep changing up their rules about their scheduling. Inconsistent and unprofessional. They can't keep staff. Mistreatment of staff. Really bad favouritism at the studio. Nitpicking. Inconsistency. Lack of cleanliness. Poor treatment of EEP if not favoured. Poor air quality during colder or warmer seasons. You're pushed to work regardless of how broken their AC/heater is. Many typos and issues found in their legal contracts. Poor staff management. Poor staff training. Potential MLM format. Not taking in the feedback of their employees to improve the behaviour of their management and coordination team. Passive aggressive management. Disrespectful management. High expectations and low compensation. Rude, hurtful, condescending behaviour from the management and coordination team due to favouritism and nitpicking. Consistent changes to the schedule without consent or your knowledge simply because of favouritism and the scheduling coordinator's lack of professionalism. Poor communication. No room for growth. Lack of fairness. Poor cleanliness of the studio or respect for cleanliness. Maybe once good, but Yoga Tree is losing their management and credibility. There are only few good teacher and team members left. They will leave too if this continues because we have all been burnt out and felt taken for granted by these problematic behavioural issues of the higher coordinators and management. Absolutely not okay. Not worth the disrespect.
