Pros

The members were the best part of the job. Salary was decent for the work performed as a counselor.

Cons

Work hours were terrible. Split schedule, could never have 2 days off in a row. Skeleton crew working conditions meant major planning if you wanted to take a day off and they surprised us on a conference call with the closure of 34 centers (all corporate centers in the south east). On this call we were not allowed to ask any questions and were not told why or what we were supposed to tell our new and old members. To top that off corporate sent an email to the members 1 hour after our conference call, to tell them about the center closures. This led to the assumption that we knew about the closure and did not tell the members. We also had to constantly call members that obviously didn't want us to call them, this was done on a weekly basis. This company left a really bad taste in my mouth to say the least.

Pros

I really don't have much positive other than my coworkers were great. It helped pay bills, but sadly not all of them. Really good benefits when it was a corporate center, not sure now that the DFW centers have been franchised.

Cons

It was an hourly position but they would routinely schedule you for 37 hours or less so you wouldn't get overtime. It doesn't seem like much, but 3 hours per weeks adds up!! Bills got tight! Upper management never had good communication with the independent Centers. I know they were recently franchised and I hope this has gotten better. Hired people with Kinesiology, Nutrition, and other health related degrees but had such a specified program that I couldn't use any of my skill set to assist customers. Got bonuses SOMETIMES but goals were set so high that it was basically unattainable. Also, I had no idea this counseling job would be 80% sales!! My training had zero information about nutrition and health and all to do with sales!! We spent only one day on counseling strategies.
