Not the greatest

Pros

The pay is pretty good for entry-level, really nice co-workers, good about giving you breaks and lunches on time, free membership.

Cons

Having to constantly try to sell memberships until the members get mad at you for asking every time they come in, if you close you have to clean the front end of the store AND the other parts that arn't finished, I usually stay almost 2 hours after closing (not what I want to do as a full time college student), sometimes COS's talk down to you or pester you about selling more memberships that people don't want.

Pros

Easy to move up, company is everywhere so you dont have to leave the company to move to a new location. Pay

Cons

Bonus structure is unfair, clubs that lose money for the company can get a bonus if they lose less money than the previous year, but clubs that consitently bring in millions in profit dont bonus unless the meet outrageous "projections" for groth of sales and profit. The company is top heavy, there are some many senior level leaders and home office executives that give out some many contradicting directions that mid level front line managers are caught in unrealistic goals mixed with unclear direction. Like a big game of telephone but if you repeat the wrong message at the end your fired!!!
