I worked there 12x longer than the average sales rep (actual math haha not an exaggeration sadly) and was disrespected more every year. The place is run by a woman who is running the company into the ground. The commission structure used to be amazing and I was able to support myself and live on my own as a successful sales rep. Unfortunately, they took full advantage of Covid and drastically cut pay. I couldn’t even pay a car note on their pay structure after 2020. And don’t let them fool you - they could definitely pay you better if they weren’t so greedy. Their turnover is god awful for a reason, and they have learned nothing from that.
Also, their sales and PT goals are completely unrealistic, especially for the price point. You can’t sell a beat up Toyota Camry for the price of Mercedes, I don’t care how good at sales you are. Wellbridge needs to know it’s crappy worth, and maybe the sales at all clubs would be better.
I’m also pretty creative, and used to really enjoy coming up with events and promotions to get people in the doors. My last year, all the ideas I came up with to better promote the club were shot down immediately. They preferred i went out on the street and handed out passes instead at a light rail station. Made me so proud of my marketing degree….
My sales job ultimately became being a punching bag for both our members who are paying way too much for things to break ALL the time, and our “leaders” who refuse to see why their clubs are failing so badly.
