I don't see what's so radical here. It sounds like any other branded clothing/etc. sales-based job, really.

Yeah Ive seen videos of their management and its definetely a hippie-style cultish cimpany, that doesn't mind starting their prices at 90$ for a pair of pants! And women love paying that since its stylish and hifgg quality

As a kid I worked retail at a food store, but I always wondered how this worked financially with the womens clothes stores at the mall where you have to wear the product you sell, but its all super expensive "designer" and you only make minimum wage of course. Lets say a set of designer clothes costs $250 and you work there 5 days a week so you buy 5 sets of clothes per year, but you only get $7.25 and only 20 hrs/week so as to deny benefits. So you have to work more than two months per year just to pay for your own "uniform"... yikes.

Doesn't sound remotely cult like. Sounds like good business.

Yep. Encouraging employees to be proud of their jobs/company and giving them a reason to do so is nice. Free fitness classes is an awesome perk.

Well, from the HN cult anyway.

HN isn't a cult, it is a zoo :-)

And if you're going to be obsessed about something, there are far worse things than fitness.
