Pros

excellet facility, if you are member you are treated like gold. everything offered for the price truly is a mind blowing value....they did get this part right.

Cons

horrible treatment of employees/managers. benefits and pay are terrible...7 days off per year. no holiday pay, no sick pay. there isn't even a break area for the employees to take a few minute break....that should have been my first indication of what i was getting myself into. as a manager you are expected to work 50-70 hrs, 6 days per week and forget your summer if you plan on having one...it is the busiest time and everyone is required to work. they make EVERYTHING difficult...their purchasing systems are absolutely mind numbing...it take weeks to get anything and then weeks to get the vendor paid. forget trying to keep a budget there is NEVER enough money for the way the club should be taken care of. when you spend money to keep the club looking nice it just comes out of your bonus. promises from upper management are un-kept.

Pros

Top of the line equipment, best instructors and facility. Great classes and class availability. Instructors held strictly to high standards with certifications. Classes are full and provide you a great training experience on the job. You make friends with common interests. Great job for networking with professionals that have memberships.

Cons

Bad overall mentality of disgruntled workers, especially with management. Did not help with certification costs.

Pros

Free membership Medical, Dental, Vision program Indoor/Outdoor Pool Spa Cafe SOME discounts on services (Spa, Personal Training, Classes)

Cons

General Manager promised a 3 week training period out of the club. (Was only 1 week at my club, then cancelled the training due to too many problems in the department, never allowed to go back to training) Hiring process for employees takes close to 4-8 weeks, too slow especially when summer help leaves. 35,000 p/yr for Department head position, when YMCA is paying close to 60,000 p/yr Stepped down to Assistant Department Head to learn more and receive more training. NEVER GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE OR TRAINING. In a year and a half of being an employee, there has been 3 General Managers, and different Department Head changes throughout club. Reaching profit goals are unattainable as a Department Head Expense budget makes it impossible to properly run department with enough employees.
