Pros

Free gym membership to any of the gyms nationwide (but come on thats the least they can do, for all we go through)

Cons

Where do I begin. I work around 50-60 hours a week Monday-Saturday. My manager actually asked if I could start working Sundays too. Awesome. Who needs a life right?? My shifts are 9am-1, 4-8pm. 3 hour break. But when you live in Atlanta and spend AT LEAST an hour in traffic on a daily basis, those 3 hour breaks quickly turn into only one hour. So what do I do on my breaks? Stay at the gym, or somewhere close by. So I'm at work from 9am-8pm mon-fri. And 8am-4 on saturdays. If you don't have any prospects to call, or any appointments you're literally sitting there making less than minimum wage. Base pay is HORRIBLE. Like i said, it's less than minimum wage. So that means if you go an entire month without selling anything, you've just put in 100+ hours for a little less than $1000. Awesome. Because no one has bills to pay right?? You basically have to convince people to purchase an overpriced personal training program that is quite frankly bogus. I read all the same reviews, but STILL accepted the job because I thought it would be different. Nope. All the comments are true. If you don't have social life and would enjoy being at work all the time, literally begging people to spend their money, this go for it! If not, RUN! Safe to say, I won't last too much longer here. All these big corporations care about is money. Not the employees.
