Pros

Free Gym Membership if you have time to use it after expected to work 9+ hours a day

Cons

They send you to Corporate Headquarters in MI where you work 80+ hours for one week of training and are expected to pass tests every day. If you do not pass such testing you are sent home and fired. The expectation is achievable however you are treated poorly. They put me in a hotel for the week of training where I got bed bug bites all over my body. I was expected to continue to work under unworkable conditions and treated as if I owed them a favor. I have never been treated so poorly by a company - a company that prides itself on health and wellness needs to take a closer look at how they treat their employees. Lastly, I took time off to recover from the 60+ bed bug bites that worsened. I was fired from the position due to sick time I required to get well. I was informed due to the missed time they did not believe I was where I should be for such role. Let's be real - this job is not rocket science! I was where they put me! In addition to the worse experience you could imagine they do not pay you properly for your time. They are very misleading about what the opportunity really is & compensation is very poor. I would warn anyone from taking a job with this company.

Pros

Free membership, discounted services, outdoor pool to escape to during the summer.

Cons

Probably the worst corporation to work for hands down. All they care about is money. Yes, it is a business but they extort their clientele by selling BS products by non-qualified trainers. The month I left I witnessed a former operations worker sell sessions at $119 a session (im sure he had the credentials to charge that). It doesn't matter how great of a trainer you are, all that matters is that you can sell and meet your quota every month. If you don't meet your quota they will write you up and eventually get rid of you. You will never know if your getting paid the right amount because there are different pay structures and small print nobody tells you about. Also, They make you remember this stupid mission and vision statement that not even the managers follow. If your looking to join a cult this is your place. I advise you to stay away. They lie and cheat at your expense. Oh, and be prepared to clean, then have management treat you like a child if you didnt or did a poor job (just remember its free labor, they dont want to hire someone to clean the machinery so they make it the PTs responsibility).

Pros

Free membership, low formality culture at corporate office, fun people (most of the time). Great place to get a ton of experience because they run a LEAN team. Fast paced culture means you'll never get bored. Great place to learn as much as you want about your personal health and fitness with tons of great and knowledgeable people!

Cons

No work/life balance or respect for employees. When you meet a goal, all they expect is more. It never seems to be good enough. Feels like a "boys club" a lot of the time with senior management... you really feel the glass ceiling here. I feel like i'm always connected to work- at home I feel like i have to check my email at all hours in case a senior leader needs something. At times it feels like i'm working with jr-high age people. If you don't like profanity, you may get easily offended.
