"The UN-healthy, modern day slavery, way of life company"

Operations manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Free membership Some nice people You have a job If you drink the company kool-aid you may move up if you're are lucky and have not been worked to death yet.

Cons

Horrible company to work for ..period. You mean nothing to them, you are a tool they use, burn out, and toss aside. The culture is toxic from top to bottom. Management from CEO on down is narcissistic. Say good bye to friends and family. 7 days PTO a year, including sick days.... They force you to clean the parking lot at no pay..

Educational opportunity for a trainer shot term, but very stressful and demanding

Personal trainer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The company itself is very ahead of the game in terms of up to date research and education in exercise, nutrition, metabolism, etc. Lots of opportunities to broaden your education and multiple specialty positions within personal training - metabolic technician, assessment specialist, etc

Cons

High stress environment - since its in a luxury gym setting, members have a sense of entitlement. Within the company there is a lot of pressure to reach certain revenue goals every month. Lots of busy work business planning, procedures changing very frequently, and there is an expectation of a 50 hr work week, and working when you are not being paid for that hour. A lot of work for very little pay. You will think this job is the most amazing thing ever for the first 2 months or so since they brainwash you into thinking you've hit the jackpot, and then you will start to realize that you're overworked, tired, and burnt out.
