Unfortunate, because it could really be a great place to work.

Pros

Free membership. Very "healthy" environment to work in- culture that is encouraging of healthy eating, exercise, etc. Related to that though- You will be in the (silently judged) minority of your're out of shape, overweight, drink soda, etc. Mostly business casual dress code. Certain positions also allotted cell phone and home internet connectivity allowance in addition to base salary, usually had access to great cutting edge technology, very satisfied with salary.

Cons

Only 10 days of PTO a year (whether it's sick or vacation), that you must use by the end of the calendar year. This does not allow for much work/life balance. Benefits were just OK, which is a little odd considering it's a "Healthy Way of Life Company" CEO has a temper- which I witnessed firsthand, not just going off of rumors. He is very driven, and perhaps that is the type of personality needed to be "successful" but cursing and losing your temper with employees or situations usually doesn't go over well in the long run. His team of upper management is comprised of guys that have been by his side nodding yes since the first club was opened. For the most part, it's not horrible, but you eventually get the feeling that you either 'drink the kool aid' or you don't, and if you don't you're out.

Pros

Free membership Met some great people Got my promotion within months A lot of great fitness programs Health/Dental/Vision plans were great

Cons

Extremely low pay for a supervisor, no one in my department ever received a raise in three years because "its not in the budget" Was unable to take advantage of fitness programs because of low pay Schedule was done a full month in advance which made it hard to get a day off on short notice Entire team felt like upper management did not appreciate the work we did Poor communication between departments Made to clock out for breaks making hours under 40/week If you have to call off sick and you cannot find coverage, even if you make every effort by calling and leaving messages for everyone in the department as well as informing the manager on duty, you will get written up. Management also refused a doctors note when they didn't believe you had been sick. When I informed them that I was looking for jobs in Columbus to be closer to family, they decided to tell me that I was not a team player and proceeded to make my work days uncomfortable.
