Pros

There are none, good luck.

Cons

$10 per hour. You dont get moved to commission for months. They lie lie lie and con. You have to sell their below average pricy products and sell sessions to get moved to commission. Be aware you are an "employee" however you are charged a service fee for each session to "cover the cost of products used". Last time I checked an "employee" status according to the IRS is one who is provided with supplies. Take a look for yourself employee vs independent contractor status. If a client comes in with a discount card, that % discount comes out of YOUR pay not their net. The company runs these every week so expect to get squeezed out of the pay you were promised from the get go. Also expected the hire on process to take 3 months. In this time 3-4 different managers will instruct you to do it 3-4 different ways all saying the other is wrong. Expect to run around like a chicken with its head cut off, get frustrated and irritated. Expect to have 3-4 managers, expect one to leave in the hiring process, expect the rest to not agree on anything. Expect to be forcibly "volunteered" to work on your day off, if you dont you are not a team player and expect to get fired. Expect to cross out any new year's day plans or new year's eve plans as you manager is going to text you new years eve at 10pm to inform you of your 4 day volunteering begining new years day for their yearly event. Expect to be presured to puchase a $475 dollar training package during hire on, be aware you dont have to. You can if you chooses to when you choose to. You are trained from the moment you meet a client to sell sell sell if you dont you are not performing well. Bottom line, you are trained to see every client as a dollar sign first. As a therapist that should be enough not to mention the rest. Far warning investigate your employer before you settle on unfair unethical practices. There is plenty more but I believe I am sick to my stomach remembering my experience and would like to not.

Pros

My job is to change lives, positively. We have great resources to help people make those changes. Immensely rewarding. Great for someone single who wants to work a ton of hours and advance. Benefits are a little costly but OK. Great sales opportunities if you like to sell.

Cons

It seems LT gets so caught up in revenue that the drive becomes more about the sales # than the potential life changing outcome. Lack of consistency and lack of great leadership is causing many to leave the company. Some get promoted too fast and egos take over. If you are married with kids, it is hard to have a work life balance and make a decent living. Your budgets are determined by past performance so you are ALWAYS expected to do more. Hero 1 month, villain another.

Pros

You get to work at one of the nicest gyms available.

Cons

There was little to no help from management from the start. You work on a draw system that ultimately takes away from your paycheck the moment you make a sale.
