Pros

Get to meet interesting people. give you time to learn a little about the business of fitness.

Cons

Management only cares about their bonuses and sales numbers. Hire way more trainers than need be. Good trainers by Golds Gym LA standpoint are sales men and has nothing to do with your knowledge of fitness. If you care about fitness and your clients do not work here. Trainers are required to sale a certain about of training each month as well as sale supplements in which gold gym has a contract with only one genertic brand that know one else has heard of. the pay sucks.

Pros

Nothing. Do not even think its going to be good.

Cons

Everything. Company is using software from two decades ago. Their daily company meetings are pointless. The company is ran by juice heads who are only promoted because they been with the company for awhile, not because they excel and know how to train and develop people. They run through people like no tomorrow because the pay is under industry standard.
