Fun environment but poor pay and commission structure

Personal trainer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Super fun environment. Great co-workers. Free club membership to any Life Time, which is fun.

Cons

You make no money. Seriously. None. This is a sales job, NOT a training job, and your ability to sell dictates your ability to make a living. Also, they take half of what you sell, so it can look good on paper but you're making THEM money. There is no base/hourly rate, you're entirely commission, and unless you want to work 10+ hour days with non-stop sessions, you don't make any money. They also cut back on employee perks when it comes to discounts off supplements, which is a shame.
