Pros

The clubs are usually packed with clients, and most of the employees are enthusiastic, that is until they have had the life sucked out of them. The business motto and ideals are both fantastic in theory. The services they offer to members are definitely worth 5 stars, but this is a review on employment, not membership.

Cons

They expect you to work for free. Any department that has to do a thorough cleaning in order to prepare for review, employees are expected to work over night without pay. In the salon, if there were no clients we were actually forced to make ourselves look busy by cleaning and doing inventory (which is actually prohibited to anyone other than department head), and I was occasionally asked to assist in childcare without pay. So unless the salon was busy, we were forced to stay there our full 8 hour shifts and make no money.

Pros

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
