The culture is appealing for sure, however over time it can become exhausting, diminished and hypocritical. Being a member of management made longevity here really taxing as you were expected to give 150% of yourself, your time and energy as a base line to be considered a "good employee". The concept of "worklife balance" is spoken of but too often forgotten about. Upper management is very disconnected from what happens at a store level. Don't expect to have much privacy about your life here, you wanting to keep anything private is considered holding you back from your own development. Vacation time or days off are difficult and I found that the only way to have control over my life balance was to have a group of employees that had each other's backs and would barter coverage when needed (I got you if you get me this day). Compensation is hourly with enhancement of team commission for most positions, how well you do depends mostly on the success of the store location and organization of management. At times you will be pressured into incorporating many workouts at many locations all over your city and that at times can be very stressful and tiring. The quality of the product at times was in question and as a team we were told to keep it under wraps- that rode on my conscious and made me question the moral fiber of the company as a whole.

I know some people that are Educators for 2+ years PART TIME and are never offered fulltime status, even if they have been promised it by management. Product quality has really gone down the toilet over the past year or so , so it's hard to stand by a brand that isn't 100% transparent. If you have any plans of working for corporate, your best bet is to go somewhere else to get experience (especially if it's specialized) and then come back and apply for jobs at corporate. It's next to impossible to start as an Educator and move up to corporate without having to put up with years of BS and become a Key Leader, ASM, and SM first. Very frustrating.
