At a specific location - we only got a door security guard after a homeless intoxicated person wandered into a studio while the teacher was doing a towel run. We were left vulnerable and unprotected way to many times. It’s traumatizing to constantly feel afraid and always look toward the door in fear that something terrible would happen while checking in for your class. Multiple studios I worked at had break-ins and robberies, altercations with homeless or disorderly people, harassment and stalking from students. Lack of consistency left instructors in an unsupported awkward position. Studio level management was a revolving door, month to month new people would take over and then vanish to be replaced by someone new. Pressure to sell memberships and teacher trainings was a obnoxious and if we didn’t met Quotas set by leadership it was used against us. There are a lot of cost savings by having the efficiencies that we’ve gotten with Meraki.Low pay, expected to do work off the clock/ away from the studio to create class sequences and playlists, no desk support - teachers do all check in, customer service, sales, janitorial work, etc alone or with another teacher who has a similar class time = stressful and overwhelming to go from that to teaching perfect zen class. With Meraki, we spend less than a third of the time as before when setting up a new studio.
