Pros

None except you get a free gym membership witch ain’t worth a dime anyways

Cons

Company will pay employees drastically different amounts, if you ask why others are being paid more than you they’ll fire you..they’ll lie to you about anything and everything...they will make you work 10 hour days 9-9 and not pay you overtime...upper management is full of crap and hides anything from you...do not trust any upper management in Dallas market...this company is modern day slavery full of empty promises and BS

Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughts. I am sorry hear you perceive upper management and aspects of your role with us negatively. As the company grows rapidly, Fitness Connection strives to create and maintain a positive, supportive culture for our Team Members. Upper management and the leadership team understand that growth and change are challenging, but are committed to making improvements to ensure our Team Members feel valued. Recent demonstrations of the company's deeply felt responsibility to employees are the improved PTO policy and reviewing compensation for all positions. Fitness Connection gets better each day because of the contributions and feedback of the team. If you would like to discuss your experience or share your suggestions, please email us at jointheteam@fitnessconnection.com

Really a zero star employer

Pros

The members are generally fantastic.

Cons

Where do I begin? There is no path for growth, financially or otherwise. This company regularly asks GFIs to work off the clock, including teaching hours and cleaning duties. They hire the most absolutely ignorant people to run the show, including regional management. The turnover at local clubs is so high that it is difficult to build relationships or a cohesive team. They take absolutely atrocious care of equipment, allowing things to absolutely fall into disrepair before acting on it. They cut popular classes in an effort to increase profit. They treat experienced employees, who should be asked for guidance, as a nuisance. Avoid this place at all costs. After years of teaching, I was given a raise, but eventually taken off the schedule because they "couldn't afford" my hourly rate (which is not much more than most GFIs).
