Pros

Free membership (classes included) The coworkers on your level are usually pretty nice

Cons

They will hire whoever will work the most for the least pay. After that, they will make you so busy that you cannot manage to find the time to look for another job, all the while you are making hardly any money. If you have any sort of ethical values, do NOT get yourself into this. There are many corrupt practices and instead of actually having desire to improve the lives of their members, all they care about is increasing the number that goes into their pockets. They do not value their employees. You are only valuable to the company if you can make them loads of money (and this is usually only in sales or PT). Don't expect your requested days off to be granted; don't expect to be congratulated on anything or thanked for any exceptional work you do. Calling in is equivalent to betrayal in your Lifetime's eyes, no matter the circumstance. Flexibility is unheard of. Consistently, they will up your responsibilities and their expectations of you, but your pay will not be raised. What started off as a food service job will become food service, janitorial staff, and sales. It's also likely that you will not get a break, even if your shift is over 8 hours. Most of your time at work will be running around like a chicken with its head cut off, doing the work of 5 people with only 2, while management chit chats all day. Also, the turnover rate is extremely high, understaffed departments are rampant, and when you walk past the front desk, I can guarantee that most of the employees you will see are miserable, overworked, and underpaid. And probably sick... healthy way of life? No.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
