Pros

There are no Pro's. The closest thing to a Pro is that you get a free membership when you work for the company, but being that it is so miserable to work in this environment, I did not even want to step foot in this place if I wasn't working.

Cons

Too many to describe. They do not value their employees. Morale is at an all time low. No motivation from manager's, just threats to make "their" goal or else you will be fired. Extremely low pay. Hostile work environment.

Pros

Energizing environment, nice employees, SOP's are well thought, updated computers etc., motivating.

Cons

High attrition of employees. Corp. shows no support for any employee. Terminations are based on age, sex, & politics. An employees "statistics" are never recognized. If an employee exceeds goals & adds to the organization, it is rarely noticed. Several Illegal actions occur: Spa, Shop use members Credit Cards Illegally & the doers are never terminated, because the GM's authorize this procedure so the dept hits Goal. Mange,ent never recognizes a members complaint, or what the Member wants ex: instructors w/huge following who are terminated due to jealous GFM or GFRegionals, members quit &/or complain no one listens. Members are instructors & PT's. Not community friendly. Unhappy employees.

Pros

a good place to start a career in sales. selling something that is healthy, interesting, + fun! an array of different backgrounds across membership advisors, loved the diversity. most other advisors I trained/worked with were very motivated, well-spoken, and supportive. complimentary membership, super beautiful + clean work environment. personally worked with some of the best managers I've experienced but this will of course depend on your location not sure what it's like in other cities, but I felt being part of Equinox in NYC is so exciting and well-respected. you're part of the most flourishing fitness community in the world! generous retail discount pretty solid sales training in the beginning. everyone was very supportive. not the most financially stable especially in NYC, but overall it's a pretty good first salary job for a new graduate. long hours but great balance of sitting and standing/walking

Cons

closeout days are long. if you don't truly love fitness/Equinox and talking to people it might be hard to feel work/life balance and will definitely burn out quickly have to work one weekend day schedule is flexible but that also means lack of consistency in your schedule every week your ability to move up in the company really depends on who your manager is emails and phone calls can feel repetitive if you're not being super creative 24/7 high turnover and while everyone was supportive during training, no one maintained relationships outside of their club afterwards working holidays..no one should work on Christmas
