Pros

The only pro is you get a free membership

Cons

Everything else about working here is a con. If you want to work for a company driven by GREED and AVARICE with NO moral compass and ZERO regards to their employees and their well-being... then this is the place for you. But be warned: it will destroy your health (mental, physical, emotional) and potentially even your relationships (family, romantic partners, kids, etc.) Starting with the CEO, this company exudes TOXICITY. The CEO constantly makes highly inappropriate and offensive comments on calls. The entire executive "leadership" only care about filling their pockets and raising the stock price...even if it comes at the expense of human beings. Employees are OVERWORKED and UNDERPAID. The benefits are HORRIBLE and so expensive. Not to mention that bullying and sexual harassment is allowed in the clubs... in fact, most of the "talent" this company attracts are bullies and micromanagers who will make your life miserable. You will need YEARS of therapy after working here. It will also make you physically sick over time. Example of how horrible and toxic the company is: 1) managers don't get in trouble for sleeping with members and even sending unsolicited nude pictures, 2) managers don't get in trouble for sleeping with their direct reports... even though this is so problematic in so many ways, 3) executive managers are allowed to have relationships with people they manage and give them preferential treatment (ex. they pay them significantly more just because they're sleeping with them), 4) sexual harassment complaints are not taken seriously by management or HR. Any manager/employee taking part in inappropriate and immoral behavior is protected and their job is never in jeopardy. Any employee or manager who stands up for what's right, immediately gets in trouble and even fired sometimes. Understand that to be here, you cannot have any values, a sense of what's right and wrong, or be a decent human being. Avoid this company like it's the plague... because it truly is a plague. It's the epitome of a toxic work culture and greed. I would even describe their workplace as abusive... because often times, there's plenty of psychological/emotional abuse, as well as overworking employees and underpaying them (sometimes not even paying them at all for overtime worked!). The goals and standards they measure you against are IMPOSSIBLE. You will have your soul sucked out of you and then will be replaced in seconds when you're no longer beneficial to them or bringing in enough money. If I could give them zero stars, I most definitely will.

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.
