Pros

- Discount supplements - Thats about it

Cons

- Mandatory meetings you arent paid for - Condescending and discriminatory management - No way to track or log hours worked until you see your paycheck - no HR department of any kind - Work schedule is never set in stone, always changing at the last minute - Zero room for growth unless youve been best buddies with the CEO for a decade - Employees suspended and/or sent home without pay for ordering food - Basically a good ol boys club disguised as a supplement company

Pros

Discount on apparel and products

Cons

Mandatory unpaid meetings Require employees to put their cell phones in buckets collected by management prior to unpaid meetings Threats of termination everyday No janitors, staff is required to maintain bathrooms, kitchens, and facility cleanliness on top of other required job duties Mental and emotional manipulation from executives "No one cares, work harder" mentality driven into employees Encouraged to work extra hours off the clock to be considered a "team player" Customer service manager created a board with individual employee production numbers and placed it in an open area, verbally encouraging other departments to publicly humiliate employees with lowest numbers in an effort to "boost" them Required to attend mandatory education classes with no additional compensation CEO's friends and family run the building, implement a pyramid scheme, and scream at anyone that claims it operates as such Company values and ethics are stressed on a daily basis, but the opposite is demonstrated Will not hire qualified candidates that have children Expected to dedicate entire life to the company Deemed "unmotivated" and "worthless" if you are not constantly trying to move up within the company Required to read and write reports on assigned self-help books Required to revolve personal social media posts around 1st Phorm Will not hire those with education/degrees/experience into appropriate positions e.g. a Graphic Designer will not be hired for a Graphic Design position they will first need to "prove themselves" by working in customer service until management feels they're worthy of other positions. No rhyme or reason to promotions--some are promoted for good work after a few years, some are promoted in weeks, less qualified often promoted before others more qualified Employees that make mistakes often outed and berated in company wide text message Staff full of young adults that are constantly hooking up with other employees, regardless of company policy Sexual harassment is swept under the rug by management No official "HR" department; it consists of one woman that is a family member of the CEO and president

Pros

Amazing facility, great atmosphere, tons of fun workout events for employees.

Cons

They over work their employees and sometimes only give you 15minutes to eat in a full shift. During weekly meetings you get down graded and called retards. They lie about how it’s easy to move up in the company to get people hired on. The turnover rate is so high, most of the people I worked with when I started quit before I left. They expect you to do book reports and make an absurd number of social media posts before you are even considered for a raise They will terminate you if you want to work a second job, yet don’t pay you enough to make a decent living.
