Pros

Pro's are a free gym membership, discounted food, health insurance benefits and state of the art facilities and equipment.

Cons

Labor law violations...... wish I was kidding. This company tried to monitor my restroom breaks. This is completely and totally illegal. I should have and contemplated filing a suit. That being said I did not use the restroom anymore than any healthy person would. This company tries to manage every single aspect of the job to the point where you cant even do the job. There is an incredible amount of frivolous drama that does nothing but create a toxic, stressful work environment. This company will do anything to cut financial corners, especially understaffing. They will lead you in by promising promotions and advancement which never happens. They also talk abut management duties, which are part of the job description I had. I had zero management duties and at least two superiors on every shift so I was never in charge of anything. Other issues include favoritism, talking down, low pay, extremely high turnover, name calling and backstabbing.

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.
