      Pros

      Decent payout structure, tuition reimbursement, overall decent people that work there.

      Cons

      It’s a sales job at the end of the day. Management will try and frame it about you getting what you are worth but really it’s about hitting sales goals. The money can be good if you hit all the criteria for bonus which most clubs don’t hit regularly. No benifits unless you work 35 plus hours a week. No vacation time unless you are a master trainer (that’s a 4 year commitment). You can survive doing this for a few years but then you will collapse at 2+ years to find something better.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your employees like you want them to stick around. Vacation time would solve a lot of moral issues. Stop looking at trainers as Dollar signs and look at them as people.

      Pros

      Working in fitness and training clients

      Cons

      Mistreatment, poor pay. Horrible upper management. Quick to blame you for things that are out of your control, and the members are horrible.

      Pros

      Members are amazing and the front desk associates are great.

      Cons

      Unorganized as hell. They have a guy who did prison time with no college background as a manager. He just cares about himself not the employees. If you try to speak up about what is going wrong and needs to fix, he gets an attitude. Uses the employees below him to his advantage to make himself look good. They don’t do background checks or drug testing.

      Advice to Management

      The Owners should listen to the complaints of the employees. It’s not fair to just pick management side automatically. The ones below see so much more. Doing that eliminates the high turnover rates. Also higher people who enjoy the field of work. Don’t just hire for looks or just because you need bodies in the facility. Be strict on training. What’s the point of having a training schedule and it’s not even being enforced? All jobs require employees do training.

      Pros

      I can see none to list here

      Cons

      Expected to do managers work at desk staff pay, cleaning duties beyond the scope of position, lack of training, extensive issues with customer AND employee retention

      Advice to Management

      Pay your workers a liveable wage or you have no business being open. Pay your "managers" more they deserve more.
