Avantages
- Free membership - Nice, big clubs. - Most folks you encounter are nice. - You have employment. - If you drink enough kool-aid, you may go places in the company.
Inconvénients
- Poor, narcissistic management from top to bottom. - As a requirement for employment, management makes all employees memorize a phony mission and vision statement, they themselves do not follow. It's like joining an occult rather then a company. - Say "goodbye" to friends and family, your life is work. - Poorly written, and purposely vague employee manual. - 7 days PTO, per year, that's it! If you get the flu and can't work for a week, your vacation time is gone! - Prepare to work the equivalent of 2-3 employees, that's how they save on payroll. - Employee beware, the GM does not tell you your complete job responsibility at the time of the interview...on purpose. - If you think you are earning a set salary, think again. After you calculate all the extra hours you will be made to work, you'll be lucky to make minimum wage. - Turnover is rampant. - After a while it seems less like you are working at a health club, but more like a prison. - You are forced to clean the parking lot at no pay. - Everyone seems miserable. - The powers use the word "artistry" to the point of nauseum. (Its actually the name of a huge golden statue they worship at the home office, no kidding!)
