Pros

My district manager was great

Cons

They have no loyalty to the boots on the ground. As a manager you are there to take the fall for anything that goes wrong whether you were involved or not. Make sure you memorize the handbook and I do mean memorize every line, because at any point you could be called by HR to fire someone or be fired, and they will pull a line from there. But if you as a manager want to fire someone even with a line from the handbook, you will still need a dissertation of evidence just to win you a write up. They are constantly rolling out new information. They will give a 20 minute online learning about it and then you are expected to execute flawlessly. They will never revisit the information again or give you any additional training on it. Good luck. And if for any reason you have any thoughts of your own, keep them to yourself. They will only see your thoughts as a challenge/threat. Just blindly follow if you want to get anywhere in this company.

Pros

The company is always trying to improve both internal staffing conditions and stay competitive. They constantly try to do right by their employees and customers. My peers all have raw potential, and the company has great managers that are able to see that potential and develop staff further from club to corporate.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lot of moving parts due to new initiatives. However, that's expected at ever company Needs more consistency.

Pros

The only pro is that you get a free gym memberhsip

Cons

Upper management does not communicate properly or take ideas from the demographic they are wanting to cater to. Toxic work environment when it comes to hitting KPIs no proper training and development just told to hit the number or else. Even though you hit the goal to make money it’s never a great job it’s just a do better next time. No celebrations no acknowledgment for going above and beyond goal targets for the month. Force you to follow a process that most guest/members don’t enjoy and if you don’t you get in trouble. Health benefits are absolutely atrocious. They don’t even have this website updated correctly because Patrick has not been CEO for 2 years.
