Incorrect salary estimate

Pros

Great members Clean environment High end fitness facility

Cons

Overpriced to members Underpaid and undervalued employees Poor management and branding High turn over Hiring under trained instructors This salary estimate is way off. I work 10-15 hours per week at the highest pay rate available in my department, with no chance to earn more. After taxes on average I take home less than $2000/month that's $24,000 a year. No where close to $91,000!! They do not have the clientele to support one instructor making that much. Our studio on average has 2-3 instructors scheduled in at one time, and no one's schedule is completely booked. Don't know anyone that's making $91,000 from Equinox Pilates.

Pros

Potential for high commission, good coworkers

Cons

You are treated like a tool instead of a human being. You are expected to work 60+ hours without complaint. They do not enforce breaks, and many times hold it against you if you take an hour break during a 9-10 hour shift. At the end of the month, management will force you to stay past your scheduled shift (without any notice on expected end time) working you for 12-15 hours a day for 3-4 days straight. There is extremely little room for vacation time or time off in general. They will not schedule you two days off in a row, because they do not believe that leads to a productive work environment. Management acknowledges and accepts that there is a 90% turnover in this role, and they find that acceptable. This is not a job you should expect to work for more than 1-2 years. The company does not put effort into talent retention or people services. They work you until you're completely burnt out.
