Beware everything is ‘gray’ area

Shift supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Love the ‘healthy’ vibe great amenities for a gym.

Cons

Below average pay (I worked there 5 years & didn’t have a pay raise for 3 years & still am only at $15/hr. I can make that at target or Starbucks & not be accountable for anything) their response is ‘you get a free membership’ but most companies give perks to employees! They absolutely have favorites! I know of managers sleeping with their subordinate & nothing was done! Only time they took action was when trainers were using the facility to train friends for discount on the side. Even if you report to corporate hr or the anonymous line nothing is done. There are very few salary jobs so unless you are there at the right time you will never move up.

Front desk team member

Business Outlook

Pros

You quickly learn that everyone in this company is vastly underpaid with the exception of corporate. You learn how mis-managed these clubs are. The leads, supervisors, department managers, and general managers all have different visions and are all your boss. You see the wealth disparity amongst team members and members. How can a company charge over $200/monthly per member and only pay team members less than $10/hourly. The job responsibilities makes it not worth it.

Cons

You are over-tasked, over-worked, and asked to come in all the time but scolded for going into overtime. The LifeTime work app (beekeeper, LT) overloads you with too many group text and too many posts. It’s Facebook for work. Can’t move up in this company, never your career. The free membership is a rip-off. You can get fired for taking a machine from a member.
