Pros

Had been a great place to work until a few years ago. Great people, great culture, work life balance, awesome work out facility. The brand still has huge potential, if they don't continue to screw up.

Cons

Pay is heavily weighted towards C-suite folks and they pay peanuts to the rest of the employees up till director level. The eyeopener was when in 2014 they disclosed the bonus and raises to the CEO and CFO after the spin off. This, when the employees have been receiving no bonuses, and hardly any raises or promotions for many years. The HR policies in general have led to increased frustrations and heavy turnovers in the last 5 years and hardly any action has been visible, to reverse that trend.

Pros

There is a small amount of great people there that you will want to remain friends forever. That's it!!!! Though most of those people leave as soon as their 2 year contract is up, if not before.

Cons

-Poor leadership and management from the top down. -Manipulative, unqualified employees seem to be rewarded and retained over talented, qualified and innovative members. -Growth is not nurtured nor encouraged. -The environment is so toxic which makes it impossible to do ones job or be rewarded or acknowledged. -The toxic leaders make the lives of those threatened abusive and intolerable. -HR/ ES are unprofessional and useless in difficult situations and do not handle issues well. -Ethics are not practiced. -many false promises, no delivery. -people are concerned for themselves rather than doing what's best for the company. -environment feels like a shark pool rather than a work place. -overall, very sad to see a brand with a heritage and potential be destroyed by unnecessary politics and drama.
