Pros

Free gym membership, beautiful place

Cons

They lie and tell you it's so busy when it's dead. They ask if you are a people person because they expect you to promote yourself on your down time, which is fine. I asked specifically of there were clients booking or it was going to be me looking for clients and the answer was oh there are plenty of clients, that is why we are hiring, we turn away clients because we don't have enough estheticians to book them with. We just want to make sure we see our staff being active on their down times so we want you to go around and talk to members, introduce yourself give out your cards etc. They tell you it's commission based on tier salary and say it's alot to explain but don't worry you'll be so busy you'll make top commission regardless, then when you start working you find out tiers means you don't make commission until you make a certain amount of money EVERYDAY! And if you go under that tier one day, you're done for the whole week. Back down the tier to nothing once again. They don't tell you either that your commissions are based on monthly sales. It's not busy, your base pay is min wage $15 an hour, so you are basically being paid to walk around and hand out your cards to members that are working out? Lounging at the pool? They always have a help wanted posted both Garden city and Syosset. Now I know why!

Pros

Was great at first despite minimum wage. My kids had free memberships along with myself to the gym until they aged out of the child center. But things changed after about a year and a half (was there 9 1/2 years).

Cons

This company values money above all else. They will always side with members over employees even if they are in the members are lying. They pay minimum wage and expect a lot in return. They often ignore the rules (ie, asking me to take children under 4 in a class when the age is clearly stated in all of the training and then claiming bad attitude when I refused). Also often ignore the fire regulations for number of people allowed in workout classes just so they don't get complaints and to keep members (aka customers) happy. Not interested in trying to keep long time employees-no pay raise for the last 4 years and when minimum wage went up, previous pay raises did not get included so was on the same pay as new employees even after 5 years of service.
