Marketing at Bally Total Fitness

No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Dec 2010 – Reviewed Jun 15, 2012

Interview Details – I can see why they keep going bankrupt. I drove quite a ways to visit their hq and met a very nice but since departed hr person. Supposedly, the VP of Marketing was unavailable to interview me after my hour drive there, but may have had time to walk past me in the lobby as I waited. I can't say for sure it was the personI was to interview with.

I was told I would be brought back for another interview. It never happened as suddenly there was another candidate who already interviewed (unknown to me) that got the job. Don't promise something and then not deliver on it.

Day Care Attendant at Bally Total Fitness

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2010 – Reviewed Jan 27, 2012

Interview Details – Applied, interviewed, everything was great until they lost the drug test!! Then they waited several days to tell me and asked me to re-take the test. I told them it wasn't worth it for a part-time job (I really just wanted the free membership) and they were flabbergasted that I was upset that they LOST MY URINE.

Reason for Declining – Lost my drug test (in the form of urine). Not the kind of company I'd want to work for.
