Life Time reviews

very corporate. very political. awful team member retention, awful. i had 4 different sales managers in just 12 months. expect to work holidays, all of them. the company has been growing VERY fast (which is great), but this puts too many under-qualified people in management positions. forced to go to meetings even if your scheduled day off. benefits are getting worse every year. and because we are growing so fast, there is absolutely opportunity to move up, but again very political in whom they promote. no work/life balance. compensation plan changes way too often (approx every 12-18 months).

You earn a 2nd week of PTO only if you've worked there for 5 years. The 401k match is awful. Upper management is clearly hungry for profit, which would be fine if the company valued it's employees more. Life Time says a lot about "being the best" in the training industry, but the company has done little to actually ensure that trainers know what they are doing or can make professional recommendations based on client needs (it's hard to recommend something when your paycheck depends on selling training). The best trainer in the world could fail at this company because if you aren't making money for Life Time, you aren't making any money. Furthermore, there is no quality assurance or really any set standard for the quality of a training session. There isn't much career opportunity if income is your main focus. The company is expanding rapidly so there is room or advancement, but most promotions mean you have another product to sell. There should be opportunity for management roles, but from what I've seen corporate puts too much on their plates for them to be effective in their role.
