Pros

You get a free gym membership and a small discount at the spa and cafe and training, but not enough to make the spa products or training affordable.

Cons

Corporate is only concerned about money and getting more members, and not at all concerned about their employees. Everyone in middle and upper management was extremely stressed and all corporate could say was, "What's wrong with you guys, why aren't you working harder?". They change things very quickly, and even after being there for awhile it's difficult to adjust. They changed the uniform for the lowest rate employees (8$/hr) twice in one month and made the employees pay for their new wardrobes. We had single moms on in that group, trying to provide for their kids, and I was very upset with management that they made their lowest rate employees fork over so much money, and then tell them, "Actually, we don't want to do that anymore. Now we want you to go buy more clothes that look like this..." Nobody I worked with liked working there. The turnover was high, and you were considered a veteran if you had been there for three months. They are only interested in hiring people who can be hard sellers and who don't really care about people, just about making money. Don't be fooled by the beautiful building and seeming success and professionalism of the company-- it got too big too fast and hasn't been able to cope with itself. Do not work here. Corporate does not value its people. You will be a cog in their wheel, and if you stop working exactly the way they want you too, they will promptly get rid of you.

Pros

Great healthy way of life promoted to employees as part of goals and balance of work with life. Flexible time off with mixture of paid time off.

Cons

Does not recognize federal holidays - not a bank - so use personal celebration days to take time off when requested.

Pros

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
