Pros

Pay is good, as long as you can sell, otherwise you will starve. You get an hour during your shift to work out (as long as your manager isn't in a bad mood) It is a fun job (as long as your manager isn't in a bad mood) Free gym membership at the best gym around Working there encourages you to live healthier Great place to network

Cons

They will work you to the bone, always 'strongly suggesting,' that you come in on your day off, even if you are hitting your personal numbers. If your "team," hasn't hit their numbers, you will be forced to stay until midnight to try and hit your team goal, even though there is no individual incentive or bonus for your team hitting and even if you've already hit your personal goal They want a team atmosphere and base everything on 'wins/losses,' which is typical in retail sales, however they promote a cut-throat environment within the sales team. From my experience they promote less intelligent individuals that lack the ability to think outside of the box, so that they can be easily manipulated and stay on the beaten path. Overall, this company on a grand scale is a great company to work for. However, there is a very high turnover in the sales department, and with good reason. They will take advantage of you any way that they can and make you work ridiculous hours; the money is great, but when you divide your monthly income by the hours that you actually work, the dividends are not that great and it is very high stress! To be honest, if it hadn't been for my sales manager, I probably would have loved my job. My manager was extremely lazy and not very intelligent at all. He got away with it somehow, even though it was blatantly obvious that he was not doing his job and was only hitting his numbers because our sales team was very skilled. He had no spine and would brush problems under the rug instead of addressing them and making a decision, which caused a lot of friction within the sales team. He would constantly show up very late for his shifts, but would ride your ass if you were late at all. This was brought to the attention of the GM and Regional Manager by multiple people and nothing was ever done about it.

Pros

Great (might I say the best in Raleigh )facility - As and employee you get premium membership

Cons

Management is less than attentive to growing and being responsive to employees, who at the end of the day are your first line of contact with members and make or break the member experience.

Pros

Free membership Some nice people You have a job If you drink the company kool-aid you may move up if you're are lucky and have not been worked to death yet.

Cons

Horrible company to work for ..period. You mean nothing to them, you are a tool they use, burn out, and toss aside. The culture is toxic from top to bottom. Management from CEO on down is narcissistic. Say good bye to friends and family. 7 days PTO a year, including sick days.... They force you to clean the parking lot at no pay..
