Pros

Free Gym, meeting different people everyday

Cons

Pay is terrible across the board ($7.50/hr for FDA, less than $30k/year for Operations Managers, $8/hr + commission for sales) yet this is a multi million dollar company, benefits are horrible and expensive, HR dept doesn't "have your back" like they claim during new hire orientation & will always take the side of upper mgmt & company , Robert Graham doesn't know squat about running a gym...let alone running a full district, pay raises are minimal IF they happen, DVPs treat lower level employees worse than they treat strangers on the street, company will let go of ANYONE no matter tenure or loyalty, if monthly goals dont meet....ur compensation is minimal, work hours range from 45 and up/week for salaried employees, no overtime pay, No PTO pay out....if you have more than 40hrs of PTO come Dec 31...u loose it (so if you have 120hrs of PTO on Dec 31st....on Jan 1st u will lose 80 of those),

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.
