Curves International Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Curves International as a contractor for more than 3 years

Pros – Friendly Environment
Lovely Staff
It feels as if you are a big family

Cons – You have to love your work, not really a bad thing

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Curves International full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – If you care about changing women's lives, this is the job for you. You are surrounded by a culture that requires this passion! There is also a very flexible schedule as all the team members work with each other to cover shifts and be able to take time off as needed.

Cons – Rewarding work with little pay. The amount of paperwork and behind the scenes work is quite a bit. Remember the rule in college, 2 hours of homework for every hour of class? The same applies here, for every hour of shift work I do, I need to do 2-3 hours of paperwork, billing, marketing. It just makes for a lopsided focus and balance come the end of the day.

Pros – Small staff size
Step-by-step Instruction on how to grow your business
Great marketing tools and ideas that allow you to add your own creative flair

Cons – Not much room at the franchise level to advance so even if you do a really good job and perform well, you can only go as high as club manager at a franchise level. I suppose that you could move on the corporate level, but if that opportunity was available I was never made aware of it.

Advice to Senior Management – I would think that any business would prefer to hire from within, perhaps
