Pros

membership, 24hr shifts, dental coverag

Cons

I had tried for many months to get a job with Lifetime Fitness it had the hrs and convenience that I needed to have a family life too, plus a free membership. And being a memeber for 4yrs it seemed, from the outside, like a great place to work. I finally get the job and I was so happy. Well it turns out to be the WORST company I have ever worked for. They have no idea how to treat their employees. The turnover rate is so high and now I know why. Low pay, wich would be ok if you were able to do OT but OT is not an option. HIgh turnover rate so very hard to gel with those you work with. hard to get shift coverage 7 days of PTO per year this includes sick and vacation days. I have a family and if kids or I get sick i now can take a family vacation becasue I dont have the time. I have family out of state and go visit atleast once a year and need a week for travel. expected to be in uniform go pick up a radio and then punch in, this is time I am expected to work and not getting paid for. there are no incentives

Pros

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
