Pros

Life Time Fitness is branded as the Healthy Way of Life Company. This is a great image and thing to stand behind.

Cons

I work in sales and have no work life balance. The people in sales fudge the numbers and lie, cheat and steal from each other. Regional and national sales leadership turn a blind eye and promote people that are not dynamic leaders, but rather really good at selling themselves as such. When you track their activity it is obvious to see that they use the systems to make it appear that they are doing well. Something called CTD is a commonly used source for "faking" phone calls or just quickly calling and hanging up on people. People enter fake leads and set up incorrect memberships to hit their numbers. And the sales people are not to blame, but rather leadership for ignoring these activities. Life Time doesn't take a lot of time to make sure that sales people are properly trained before going to Life Time's sales cert or ensuring success afterward. The entire organization is one big boys club from the top down and it's well known, yet nothing happens to change it. The budgets are set so high that it is damn near impossible for most sales teams to hit without some sort of luck or cheating. It promotes the idea in fact. So for people like me that work hard, work with integrity, and own their business it is quite demoralizing. You are passed over by someone less qualified or talented because of reasons that they can't even explain to you.

Pros

Free membership Pools, Sauna, Steam Beautiful space Nice equipment Great food in cafe Day spa/salon Meeting nice people- team members and members

Cons

Where should I start? Like drinking Kool-Aid & poison, want to lose insight on your personal morals and values, want no work/home life balance & live an unhealthy way of life, then apply for a position at Life Time. If not, RUN while you can!!! It's the MOST unhealthy way of life atmosphere for employees. Company can't possibly think it's normal that sales people are asked to work 8am - midnight the last few days of month, Managers are abused daily, team members are paid minimal wage and asked to do more than a slave would be, and whoever is in MN doing the hiring, should be fired. It's a joke who most of the leaders are! Have no personal training or management experience.???? You can Apply for a department head position and depending who is doing the hiring that day, you might just get the job!!!

Pros

Its wonderful getting the free platinum membership, and working in the spa I was able to trade services with all the stylists and aestheticians and get great work done for free. Once a year they pay for continuing education classes for the massage therapists and aestheticians. The energy in the gym is great and every single operations worker is so friendly. I got in great shape working here (most of the time working out on the clock.) :o

Cons

Our spa was woefully slow and managed poorly with a very high turnover of management positions. The lack of customers made switching from hourly to commission based pay a joke. At least as an MT, the pay was $10/hr. Laughable for the profession. Also, the massage rooms are NOT located in the spa, but on the complete other side of the gym, flanking the dressing rooms, gyms and CHILDCARE CENTER. Its just a little noisy.
