Free membership but poor leadership and politics

Dynamic personal trainer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free membership Beautiful fitness floor, pool and amenities..

Cons

Leadership inconsistency, corporate politics favoring favorites, and poor paid time off contribute to the overall negative work environment. Additionally, the lack of leadership availability and support beyond the initial two weeks further exacerbates the situation.
