Pros

Nice studios Diverse group of instructors Discounted membership for Spouse or Partner Nice club to work out in

Cons

When you are offered the Pilates Coordinator position they say that it's part time. Ha! It's full time and you're told "whatever it takes to make goal". It doesn't matter if you are understaffed or membership is down. Here's the kicker you do management duties but they don't call you that. You will also make 10-12 dollars less than the Training Managers. Never mind the fact that you've done over 700 hrs just to get your certification. You will get paid 925.00 each pay check for Coordinator in addition to your training hours. However you can't train that many clients because you will be doing admin. work and scheduling for all the other instructors. Your training rate is 46.50 for a private while the training managers for personal training will be paid 56.00 per hour and 52.00 per hour. As far as instructors rates go it's 30.00/hr for Junior, 37.00 for Mezzo, and 42.00 for Senior. You will be expected to do emails, and front desk hours and "events" to increase Pilates visibility for a mere 8.00 per hour. You will be asked to email members who never did their comps in the hopes they will buy. You will have to do monthly projections saying what how many people you think you'll convert. If you are willing to hustle to get clients than you will be fine.

Pros

You get full access to most of the clubs and a decent discount on all of the overpriced services.

Cons

Poor upper management leadership. Very little upward movement and even worse compensation when you get there. Your training will be well below subpar and they are quick to get rid of people who A) Don't drink the cool-aid or B) Do not acclimate quickly enough to the position. Turn'em and burn 'em type mentality. If thats what you are into.
