Pros

Free membership (classes included) The coworkers on your level are usually pretty nice

Cons

They will hire whoever will work the most for the least pay. After that, they will make you so busy that you cannot manage to find the time to look for another job, all the while you are making hardly any money. If you have any sort of ethical values, do NOT get yourself into this. There are many corrupt practices and instead of actually having desire to improve the lives of their members, all they care about is increasing the number that goes into their pockets. They do not value their employees. You are only valuable to the company if you can make them loads of money (and this is usually only in sales or PT). Don't expect your requested days off to be granted; don't expect to be congratulated on anything or thanked for any exceptional work you do. Calling in is equivalent to betrayal in your Lifetime's eyes, no matter the circumstance. Flexibility is unheard of. Consistently, they will up your responsibilities and their expectations of you, but your pay will not be raised. What started off as a food service job will become food service, janitorial staff, and sales. It's also likely that you will not get a break, even if your shift is over 8 hours. Most of your time at work will be running around like a chicken with its head cut off, doing the work of 5 people with only 2, while management chit chats all day. Also, the turnover rate is extremely high, understaffed departments are rampant, and when you walk past the front desk, I can guarantee that most of the employees you will see are miserable, overworked, and underpaid. And probably sick... healthy way of life? No.

Pros

Membership, great fellow employees, most members are friendly, position not mentally challenging.

Cons

Some members are extremely rude and disrespectful, overwelming amount of work for very little pay, expectation to work nights, weekends and on ALL holidays with NO extra pay! Disrespect on some level from the top down...the role is bottom of the barrel and you are treated as such. All responsibility for operations will fall on your shoulders even at the team member level, you do what no one else wants to do, and do it in an undrestaffed environment while making very little money for the amount of hard work expected. Pay is less in this position than similar positions in other companies because of the free membership (which you will barely use if you are full time because you essentially live there and do not want to be there when you don't have to be.) I would advise only working in this position part time for the free membership and have another job that pays better as your primary income, this is a burn out role for full time.
