Fast paced and exciting but poor communication and management, many cut corners, empty promises for growth
Pros
Meet lots of new people, fast paced, passionate fitness colleagues, free membership
Cons
Low pay, promises to increase pay/promotions never materialized, minimal and often confusing directions from corporate office, managers had constantly changing expectations for staff and was quick to punish, no HR for employees, underpaid experienced and talented employees in all departments, inflexible scheduling, majority of work fell on a few dependable employees while top managers socialized and relaxed in closed office at back, female employees were often penalized for unimportant things while male employees were rarely reprimanded for slacking off/breaking company rules, corporate and facilities managers actively silenced and fired employees who speak up about sexual harassment, managers focused on sales numbers and customer satisfaction ratings rather than urgent issues in the facilities, managers often abused their positions most because there was zero oversight
