Pro Sports Club Reviews

I have been working at Pro Sports Club full-time for more than a year

Pros – Worked here for over two years after graduating college in a couple different departments. Decent pay and steady job during economic downturn, offered opportunity for growth. Club is well-maintained and most employees (cast members) are great to work with. Opportunity to win trips to Disneyland at annual holiday party. Club has been around for a long time and grew along with Microsoft, has many long-term employees who love it.

Cons – As with any public-facing environment, along with all of the "good" members and guests came the minority who could be VERY rude and demanding. I also wasn't a fan of the mandatory uniforms, giant name tags, and strict grooming requirements. It all felt a little old school compared to the generally relaxed atmosphere in the Pacific Northwest. Managers I had were great, but that could vary depending on your department. Didn't offer me the long-term options I was looking for, which is why I ended up taking an offer somewhere else after a couple of years.

Advice to Senior Management – The Club could use a little updating and refreshing in terms of the brand to make it seem more relevant and attractive to prospective members. It is very clean, but doesn't feel very contemporary. Also, the strict dress code is kind of ridiculous. Uniforms aren't really necessary in every department!

I have been working at Pro Sports Club

Pros – The benefits are FANTASTIC! From 401(k) matching to use of the facilities; From trips to Disneyland to compensation for referrals, Pro Sports Club has amazing benefits. It's a family environment for the coworkers. Stay long enough and you will know everyone on a first name basis - coworkers are family.

Cons – The communication between the club and it's members seems to have some sort of gap. Members don't understand many policies or why they are implemented in the first place. The club has eliminated a lot of this to the concierges, but in order to succeed in this environment, you must be very knowledgeable about the club ad it's various policies. There is also a lack of parking and members can get quite upset with their inability to use certain equipment/facilities during peak times.

Advice to Senior Management – The membership seems to outgrow the facilities. Plans to expand the facilities should continue with plans to expand membership.

I have been working at Pro Sports Club

Pros – As previously stated the client base is great and very loyal! The club is clean and does offer the best amenities for its members and guest.

Cons – The management treats their "cast" like children and it is extremely annoying. We are not five years old! Don't even think you can get a raise with this company! The upper management is so tight that you will never be able to get ahead (four years and no raise) and I made the presidents club during that time! What's wrong with that picture???

Advice to Senior Management – Treat your cast like they are important because without them you would not have a job! Remember your front line to members and guest (service providers) are the ones that they will remember. Not the Mgmt that hides out in the back office. Bottom line take care of your tenur cast and provide for them what they deserve. The blood, sweat, tears and loyalty go a long way and do not deserve to be overlooked ever!

I have been working at Pro Sports Club

Pros – Free gym membership, social young staff, gift card rewards and they like to hire within.

Cons – Horrible management, very strick employee rules, expensive health care for families, low pay for most positions

Advice to Senior Management – Stop worrying about how white my shoes are and how straight my name tag is! It's pretty simple- just treat us like we are adults rather than in the 3rd grade.

I worked at Pro Sports Club

Pros – It looks good on a resume, and some networking with high profile clients. Looks pretty inside. Nice coworkers. Free workouts.

Cons – Late or very early working hours. High pressure to "meet your goals". Benefits are no longer what they used to be and must be paid for by the employee. Must park offsite. Must pay for employee meals. Nickel and dimed to death. Not even coffee.

Advice to Senior Management – Give base salary to help commisison trainers survive. Focus on less amount of trainers to allow more trainer success. Hire salespeople to do sales and let trainers train.

I worked at Pro Sports Club part-time

Pros – You receive great perks and get a full membership to probably the best club on the west coast.

Cons – The members tend to be extremely snobby and rude. At times it was hard to balance serving the customer and still keeping my dignity.

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