Pros
Free membership, free workshops, teach you sales and program design, you are entered into EFTI which is a class to raise your Tier ranking, fun staff, won't fire you if you don't hit quota, compensated for floor shifts Great for beginners to learn things. Fun staff.
Cons
Way too many hours and way underpaid. Not unusual to work a 12 hour day and get compensated for maybe half of that. If you weren't there all day everyday, it was seen as you don't care. It's very numbers driven, so management will only feed trainers that have many clients and are known to sell packages. Mandatory meetings 2 or 3 days a week. You have to go even if you have nothing scheduled for that day. And it's usually all the same content (overcoming rebuttals, how to make the most out of a 30 min session, etc.) Manager says you run your own business, but you are so micromanaged. Mandatory "Special Events" at least 3 days a week, which comes off as desperate to the members. Sometimes there will be multiple special events at once and members literally run from you because they know it's a sales ploy. Such a rat race.
