Pros

1) Free Food/Drinks 2) Free gym membership 3) You'll gain the knowledge on how to run your own business without actually running your own since its owned by Lifetime. that being said, use the knowledge that you gained and become successful elsewhere, it'll take years for you to move up.

Cons

1) No work/life balance 2) Unrealistic sales expectations 3) lowered employee discount from 30% to 15% 4) Looking just to take the members money. 5) Revenue is dept based... so a billion dollar company acts like they don't have enough for payroll so you'll get screwed over covering shifts instead of hiring 1 more person. 6) Too cheap to promote, I didn't even get a raise for my anniversary, and my old facility would rather pay someone on a depts salary than General Managers salary, but give GM responsibility, and unfortunately the fool took the position.

Pros

Amazing general manager & great vibe overall. Pretty solid benefits as well.

Cons

Low pay, coworkers are bullies as well as some management. They don’t know how to communicate and will be very passive aggressive.
