Pros

You can use the gym for free, if you care to stare into the cold eyes of Management any more than you already have to

Cons

Most of the OPs, OMs, and GMs are inexperienced, and very young. They are not well-paid, and seem to be very unhappy. They are mostly Enforcers, who are quick to take disciplinary action, and even fire good employees. The overall culture of this company is really horrible. They plaster on fake smiles, expect their underlings to do the same, and the focus is always the negative, not the positive.

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.
