Pros

Good work/life balance. Flexible hours and telecommuting options available in some departments. Nice new office, centrally located in Burlington, MA - Close to shopping and many food options. Building also has a gym and cafeteria.

Cons

Limited career growth opportunities. Salaries are well below industry and location average. Technology and product development is painfully slow and seems to be getting slower.

Foundation strong but ship is sinking

Pros

Some great people work there, who are passionate and love the industry. Great content to build programs.

Cons

When the company was purchased by ATI (Now Ascend Learning) it took on a corporate culture and no longer cares about the fitness industry only the bottom dollar. They are still selling the OPT model from 1999. Good foundation, but don't help people become successful trainers. Overcharge for the education. Executive management could careless about the success of the trainer only if they pay for the materials.
