Pros

Free gym membership. Insurance after being there for a certain amount of time. Conversing with customers. And improve customer service skills.

Cons

Don't go in there looking to grow. Been there for a year and 4 months and they gave a raise and advancement to a guy who has been there for only 3 months (barely it of the probationary period) with less experience than me. They will force you to sell proshops and hit daily quotas but no incentives. You will work hard for nothing. They will promise you a raise and promotion but will fail to reward you; no growth and no loyalty. Corporate office and the company as a whole is stingy with money and budget. You are basically a number, a pawn. Run away. Work there, get your money and bounce. The job is only meant if you're just looking for quick cash

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Although you indicated you enjoyed some of our Team Member benefits like insurance, free memberships, and skill development, I am sorry to read we have not met your expectations in other areas that are important to you. We want all Fitness Connection Team Members to feel valued and experience positive personal and professional development. One new way we strive to accompish this are internal promotion review sessions where we recently celebrated two internal promotions to multi-unit leadership. As the company grows, so does our responsibility to our employees and members. Fitness Connection gets better each day because of the feedback provided to us in order to improve. If you would like to discuss your experience or share your suggestions, please email us at jointheteam@fitnessconnection.com.
