Pros

Free membership, opportunity to meet a huge variety of people, get to advocate a healthy lifestyle

Cons

Managers get their position based on sales numbers, not ability to manage. I had more education than my boss, schedule is at managers biased discretion, high school at,osphere among co workers, lots of gossip in the workplace, sales staff cheat the system constantly and take advantage of members, sales staff treat members as wallets and not people...

Pros

Free access to the gym?

Cons

Pressured/forced to come in early without pay. Overwhelming amount of responsibility. Told not to take 10 minute paid breaks. Threatened job security over small things. Continuously adding new responsibilities, tasks, requirements for minimum wage. Taking commission if a payment declines or cancelation within 2 months of earning commission, it is subtracted from your pay or future commission.
