Pros

Meet wonderful coworkers and clients. Free membership Employee Discounts in cafe and spa

Cons

No help with getting new clients. Little to no training as a new-hire and no guidance. Very "sink or swim" environment. Terrible pay structure, less than 50% of your efforts gets put back into your pocket. They expect you to work on 100% commission 40+ hours per week, and you're told that to succeed you need to be there MORE than 40 hours per week. You can take a "draw", but NEVER do this, as you screw your paychecks over for MONTHS until you can get ahead. Not all hired Personal Trainers are actually qualified to be doing so. It's actually quite terrifying that they let certain people train there. These poor members, who don't know better otherwise, are going to get injured working with these trainers. Scary stuff.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
