      Pros

      The customers were great to work with.

      Cons

      The pay is very low. The only way they judge your performance is with a once a year review. The only thing that gets you a good review is by exceeding the membership sales goals. There is close to no opportunity for advancement unless you are willing to move to a location no one wants to move to. Might be a good place to work if you are single or have no aspirations in life. Truly a dead end.

      Pros

      Discounts on products, time off requests, flexible schedule, benefits

      Cons

      Pay, must be available for major holidays, usually cannot get more than three days in a row off during "black out dates" Annual raise pretty low, hard to get into upper raise amount if you aren't interested in management in the future

      Pros

      Benefits, Discounts, pro-deals and you get to learn a lot. The customers are usually really happy.

      Cons

      Management is really laid back. Laid back to the point that people are morally cutting themselves down to get endorsed and interviewed. Employee's are getting really competitive even with people who just like working their and are not trying o compete. They are really turning their back to it or maybe even encouraging it by ignoring it.
