Pros

It is a nation wide company that you can transfer from club to club. This is a company that seems like it will be here no matter what the economic roller coasters bring. Many people say, "I am glad to have a job", and this is a place in which it is pretty good chance that they will not shut down.

Cons

The pay is not good (granted this is an entry level job), but I have been with the company 12 years, in the highest hourly paid level there is, and I still get federal assistance because I do not meet standards of living. The benefit premiums go up each year, but your raises (even a full raise), do not cover those benefit premium hikes each year. It is a retail business, so that in itself has a lot of cons.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
