Communication between management and staff is atrocious and they will blame you for it - Swim Instructor Life Time Employee Review

Pros

You get access to the gym facility which is nice. The coworkers I had are great. The job can be fun.

Cons

The management does not care about their employees. The pay is embarrassing and their way of justifying it is “you get the membership for free.” You’d expect more from a “luxury” facility. When I first began working there they didn’t show me how to clock in properly because the computers were down. Later down the line they wrote me up for not clocking in properly due to their miscommunications. They are nickel and diming me for $15/hour. Another con is that they do not pay you to get yourself fixed up after being in the pool. I can’t be anywhere else if I am wet after swim instructing, so I figured its part of the job. Apparently not. Transferring to different departments is so difficult and everyone in management does not remember you or keep track of you when positions are available internally. They’ll hire someone at a higher rate of pay before promoting someone internally.

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!
