Pros

free membership.....and discounts at the spa

Cons

Equinox has to be thee WORST company to work for. All of the employees are underpaid, ESPECIALLY the Front Desk staff. The position is not just scanning people in, you have to cater to everyone on staff as well as the members. I had 3 managers within a 6 month span, and was forced to work with the flu and conjunctivitis! all because no one would cover my shift Members spoke up for me and my boss still did not care, matter of fact I was fired 2 weeks later because members defended the unfairness or my treatment. Either the people they put in charge of the locations do not care about their employees or the company as a whole does not care.

Pros

free gym membership your own office

Cons

Sales quotas can be aggressive, and there is constant pressure to hit monthly targets regardless of market conditions. Success often depends heavily on club traffic, lead quality, and location, which can make performance feel inconsistent. Long hours and weekend availability are frequently expected, especially during promotional periods and month-end pushes. Compensation can fluctuate significantly if sales goals are missed. Management styles vary greatly by club; some locations offer strong support while others can be highly numbers-driven. Administrative tasks and CRM follow-up can become repetitive and take time away from building member relationships. High turnover among advisors can create additional workload for remaining team members. Advancement opportunities exist but can be competitive and sometimes unclear. The focus on sales metrics can occasionally overshadow the hospitality and member experience aspects of the role. Corporate initiatives and promotions can change frequently, requiring advisors to quickly adapt messaging and sales strategies
