Technology Dept is a mess

Pros

Some of the best co-workers around, feels like family good benefits including merchandise discount Company itself has good core values

Cons

The Technology Dept. is in a constant state of change. I have had 7 different managers in a year and a half, most of whom had little to no experience in the area they now manage. They seem to shuffle people around with little regard to skill set. We went through a large round of layoffs that seemed aimed at reducing not needed middle management positions. (I agree we were heavy in that area), but only a few months later the shuffle of people has replaced, with different titles, all those same middle management jobs. I used to love my job and working here. It has completely changed and I no longer enjoy coming to work every day. In the past this was a place you could easily grow your career and advance, but that seems to no longer be the case.

Pros

I moved to Boston to open our newest clubhouse location. Your growth potential is in your own hands so work hard and you will absolutely be rewarded with promotions, recognition and opportunities. There isn't a job out there with more motivated and driven individuals. This company is amazing!

Cons

Work life balance is of course a struggle but if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. You also learn how to have work/life integration.
