Pros

People you train are nice You don't have to recruit for clients You can make your own schedule. The facility is a good environment to work in.

Cons

Management is not organized They give you clients but then take them away from you. They do not update you on if a client is having an issue with your training style. The tell you you will be making $16/hr but then you realize you're only making 12 per session. Basically not clear on what income will be. Make too many promises that can not be kept. Does not respect your schedule.

Pros

My district manager was great

Cons

They have no loyalty to the boots on the ground. As a manager you are there to take the fall for anything that goes wrong whether you were involved or not. Make sure you memorize the handbook and I do mean memorize every line, because at any point you could be called by HR to fire someone or be fired, and they will pull a line from there. But if you as a manager want to fire someone even with a line from the handbook, you will still need a dissertation of evidence just to win you a write up. They are constantly rolling out new information. They will give a 20 minute online learning about it and then you are expected to execute flawlessly. They will never revisit the information again or give you any additional training on it. Good luck. And if for any reason you have any thoughts of your own, keep them to yourself. They will only see your thoughts as a challenge/threat. Just blindly follow if you want to get anywhere in this company.

Pros

Fun environment, good co-workers, nothing else.

Cons

Sales system is a joke, the way the expect you to generate leads is horrible, the upper level management is full of uneducated individuals who have no clue how to actually manage employees and abuse their power. It is one massive joke
