Pros

Free gym access to some of the nicest properties in the bay area.

Cons

Club operations and quality very different from location to location. Some clubs are brand new and nice while others are falling apart. Emails to employees at my location were sporadic and cryptic. I don't think all the desk workers know closing or opening duties, so good luck if there's an emergency. Managers do a lot of overtime and other people like yoga teachers, personal trainers, and massage therapists don't make a lot of money compared to other places. Management has never had my back with rude or creepy members. They've turned a blind eye to really horrible behavior, even when it's between members and they should do something about it. This is a good part-time gig but don't try to make a career out of this place. Never met an executive. Open positions in corporate office rarely advertised to people that work in the clubs.

Pros

- Strong Team Culture: The coworkers are the highlight of the company. It’s a group of genuinely hard workers who are always willing to help. - High-Energy Environment: The pace is fast, but you never feel isolated because there is a lot of support from the people around you along the way. - Fair Expense Reimbursement: The company is good about reimbursing for miles driven and providing stipends for employee use of internet and cell phones, which is a helpful and appreciated perk.

Cons

- Stagnant Compensation: I have not received a pay increase in 3 years. With the cost of living rising rapidly, the lack of merit-based raises makes it difficult to stay long-term. - Visibility over Performance: Career growth and raises seem to depend more on how much "visibility" you have with leadership rather than the actual quality of your work. If you aren't constantly in the spotlight, your contributions are easily overlooked. - Unmet Benefit Promises: When I started, there was an expectation of certain benefits and company assets as the organization grew. However, after 4 years, many of these have not materialized for my role, which makes it feel like the initial promises haven't been kept. - Professional Standstill: Despite the company’s growth, there are very few actual growth opportunities for long-term employees. It is disheartening to feel stuck in the same place for years while the company continues to scale.
