Pros

Sometimes you get benefits They usually work around your schedule

Cons

It is almost impossible to move up in the company unless you suck up to people. Your main job is to sell memberships. You have to work on weekends They say they provide benefits to part time employees but then cut hours so low that you end up not getting enough hours to qualify even with your schedule being completely open.

Not what it could/should be.

Pros

OK pay, decent benefits, great discounts. Good people to work with (for the most part)

Cons

Low pay, and on top of that, most raises (2.5% or less) at best barely outpaced inflation. Very few full time positions, even fewer opportunities for advancement. No consistency in scheduling, so impossible to have a life outside work. “Full Time” employees are only guaranteed 32 hrs/week.
