Pros

Free membership and discounts are wonderful. I enjoyed getting to know the members who frequented the spa.

Cons

I worked behind the front desk at the Novi, MI location and after a few months of employment, I noticed a lot of beauty products were walking out the door. I happened to check the till from the previous night for a return and saw over $300 of makeup was rung in and zeroed out by a tenured coordinator during the previous evening shift. I mentioned it to the spa manager that day in passing and she was very defensive. She asked why I would report something like this if I 'liked' that coordinator that I should mind my own business. Her response made me feel as if was the problem rather than doing my due diligence in my role. I ended up calling the employee hotline as I wasn't sure what else to do. I'm not sure if anything came of the report but this manager and coordinator were later promoted and transferred to another location.

Pros

Great co-workers Fun members to talk with

Cons

While your title may be Personal Trainer, your main job is to sell their overpriced products. Here's how the pay really works: you only make money for the time you spend training a client. You are expected to work set hours, so if you have nobody to train, you are pulling a draw (Lifetimes loan). This money has to be paid back when you start making money. What does that mean for you? That means you are volunteering your time, not getting paid a wage to be there. In that free time you donate, you will be expected to give free training sessions to new members, clean equipment, and stay busy with little tasks. You will have weekly meetings discussing, selling more product and pushing unneeded things like Detox and Lab Testing. You will not talk about the lives you are changing, by helping clients hit their fitness goals. My advice, if you are a hard core salesperson and don't mind upselling people things they don't need, this is the place for you. If you enjoy training more than sales, and care about people, stay away!
