Pros

Free gym membership, beautiful place

Cons

They lie and tell you it's so busy when it's dead. They ask if you are a people person because they expect you to promote yourself on your down time, which is fine. I asked specifically of there were clients booking or it was going to be me looking for clients and the answer was oh there are plenty of clients, that is why we are hiring, we turn away clients because we don't have enough estheticians to book them with. We just want to make sure we see our staff being active on their down times so we want you to go around and talk to members, introduce yourself give out your cards etc. They tell you it's commission based on tier salary and say it's alot to explain but don't worry you'll be so busy you'll make top commission regardless, then when you start working you find out tiers means you don't make commission until you make a certain amount of money EVERYDAY! And if you go under that tier one day, you're done for the whole week. Back down the tier to nothing once again. They don't tell you either that your commissions are based on monthly sales. It's not busy, your base pay is min wage $15 an hour, so you are basically being paid to walk around and hand out your cards to members that are working out? Lounging at the pool? They always have a help wanted posted both Garden city and Syosset. Now I know why!

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.
