Pros

Since working here, I've been only ever treated with respect and kindness from the team. All the members in the team work hard in achieving great goals for the quarters. Team members strive to help one another and making sure that we support each other to continue to grow in our careers.

Cons

Pay could be better. Being in the Midwest prevents higher pay rates when comparing to SF, Seattle, NYC.

Pros

- Near 0 threat of layoffs - Fitness oriented culture - Main office has many amenities and is very modern - Good benefits (Health, dental, vision, education)

Cons

- Highly discriminatory, constant meetings about missing hiring inclusion metrics required by law - Little to no opportunity for promotion due to average tenure being 15+ years. This means you will stay in one roll for at least 5 - 7 years for one promotion. - Required highschool gpa to be hired, even if you have a doctorate degree - All salaries are a minimum of 30% lower than the national average due to their "Benefits" - Extremely top heavy with a team of 5 people having 7 levels of management above them - Main motivation for team structure changes being caused by massive amount of retirements instead of growth
