Pros

Really can't think of any

Cons

This has to be THE worst company I have ever had the displeasure of working for. They have no respect for you as a human being, they treat you like dirt on their shoes, hiring and firing when ever they see fit. Duncan Bannatyne should hang his head in shame. He has created a monster. The directors of the company are without doubt the most arrogant people I have ever met, and think they rule the world, when really in essence, they are little boys running a gym company. If anyone gets the chance to read this, before they put a load of fake reviews on in front of it, to drown out any negative opinions, then do yourself a favour and stay well clear of this company. They have absolutely no respect for anything other than themselves.

First of all, thank you for your open and honest feedback. As we look to become an employer of choice and create a positive working environment for all employees, It is essential we listen and act on all feedback particularly areas we can improve on. It is disappointing to hear that a passionate individual like yourself is feeling this way. We would really appreciate it if you would contact our HR team on 01325 356677 to discuss with us and enable us to fully understand your situation. That way, lessons can be learned and shared to ensure we avoid making the same mistakes and ensure other employees do not experience anything similar to you in the future.

Pros

I can say that B Fitness is really a good place to work for. I think that overall the company offers a decent work environment, with very good benefits, fair compensation and vacation time, as well as good coworkers and a fairly supportive management team. I think the work environment is pretty good because most of the time I have meaningful work with clear expectations from management. Also, it seems like B Fitness provides clean working facilities that are generally safe and give me most of the needed resources to do my job. By in large, this is mostly stable work environment, but there is some turnover. Also, I feel like I have reasonable job security.

Cons

B Fitness provides solid company benefits like some paid time off and sick leave, some medical and dental insurance, as well as a some other employee programs. I feel like the company takes decent care of their employees and their general well being. I can say that both my coworkers and the management team are good at B Fitness. There is a decent sense of fairness in the company and the employees are mostly treated with respect. Management is professional and good at giving frequent feedback and work hard to foster a sense of team. B Fitness is a good company to work for and I would recommend it.
