Business Outlook

Pros

- free club membership and can pretty much go to any club you want to work out etc. - LifeCafe food discounts - LifeSpa product discounts - great access to LifeClinic - nice product lines to work with on clients - great training program for hairstylists

Cons

- direct management was lacking in direction or actually managing difficult staff - training that was promised didn't materialize until a new manager came on board 5 months later - no training program whatsoever for estheticians, just new product training if your lucky - policies that weren't enforced so everyone in the salon was on the same page - Corporate decision to make the salon employees accountable to get new clients by prospecting out in the club was futile. Members are at the club primarily for one thing: to work out. Very few if any were interested in taking advantage of the salon/spa and the services it has to offer.

Pros

The people and children are fantastic. I was exhausted at the end of the day but really had fun while at work.

Cons

You really need to love kids to work here. Often understaffed which means foregoing breaks. Also, if they feel that they are overstaffed (which they usually aren't) you will be sent home and only be paid for the time you worked (not your full shift)

Great company that gives you TONS of personal fulfillment, but could afford to invest more $$ in employees

Pros

STUNNING facilities, wonderful people, great core values, free daily dose of endorphins (people working out all around you, it's just in the air!), easy to transfer departments, or clubs, you get to build great relationships with staff and members, and you get to work out for free at any facility!!! You grow to want to spend more time there because of the people you work with and the positive vibes.

Cons

Vicious cycle: corporate expects rock star candidates, so you hire rock star candidates but can only pay them peanuts, so they leave, and you're left with the people that don't give a care, and you have to start the whole process over again. High turnover was my nightmare as a manager. I had a great GM, Regional and AD who supported MSDH's paying quality people higher wages based on talent and experience, which allowed for a longer term and more fulfilling employment relationship. Attrition shouldn't just fall on the MSDH, the retention bonus structure isn't realistic to achieve, so people start getting 'creative' with numbers.
