Pros
Free membership, very social environment, working with kids & families does put a smile on your face.
Cons
Members are first, above employees. The cuts they are making to try and reach whatever ridiculous financial goals they are providing to investors, are ridiculous. Taking away from the frontline employee budget is putting more responsibility, and more hours, on the department leaders/managers. Completely taking away Regional Manager/Director positions. They were the ones who managers/leaders went to for questions, clarifications, advice… now you are left to run the business yourself while corporate is telling you to take on the front line employee responsibilities to save money. When you apply, you HAVE to select Yes to “willing to work 45-55 hours per work”. Ha, I wish I only worked 50 hours a week. The medical / dental insurance is expensive. Only 5 days of PTO offered to first year leaders / managers… and no holidays for full time team members. Only thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years because the club is either closed or hours are shortened. Hourly team members only earn time and a half on Christmas Eve and NYE. No other holidays. Even though the CEO is worth $175 million +. I have NO IDEA how they are continuing to build the “biggest & best” clubs…
