Cons
Where can I start? From the 60-75 hour weeks spent building a business the first few months Unfair percentage cuts (once you find out how much you get opposed to how much the gym gets, its difficult to stay motivated) Lack of pay- you only get paid 20 hours to work floor but you are constantly hounded to "stay at the gym and make your presence known". The fact that a bonus only comes with a price, it won't matter how hard you work, if you don't meet certain hours, you will never get a bonus. Management would not pay me for some meetings I would attend. Trust me, $8 adds up when you're getting paid so terribly. If you ask your managers for help, they give you "leads" which almost never amount in a client. I feel like I worked very hard for nothing, I was satisfied the first two months proving I could meet quota but after you graduate from "floor shift" you just become another trainer in the system. Goodluck having a healthy work life balance the first 3-5 months. Its nearly impossible if you want to excel.
