Pros

You meet a lot of good people and the job is actually fun. At my club the employees are cool and managements is flexible with the schedule. I feel like my position is rather self managed because I never really get directed to do anything and I have a lot of autonomy on how i do my job.

Cons

LAF does not give raises, There is a lot of turnover. LAF does not promote from within in the operations dept, they always hire people that have no idea what the company is about. New hires are pretty much just thrown into the job and given a limited amount of training. ( I ended up training my boss... that makes no sense). The hours are constantly changing and unstable. LAF is the most unethical company I have ever worked for. They will add things to your membership that do not even exist, just to make more money.

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.
