Pros

Lots of benefits given to the associates with internal and external programs that will benefit you in many areas of life. People here want you to succeed so it never feels like a competition between you and fellow associates.

Cons

Promotions and advancements do take time and if leadership is what someone were to be desiring, I have been told many times it is more efficient to take a job else where and then come back some time later.

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
