Pros

excellet facility, if you are member you are treated like gold. everything offered for the price truly is a mind blowing value....they did get this part right.

Cons

horrible treatment of employees/managers. benefits and pay are terrible...7 days off per year. no holiday pay, no sick pay. there isn't even a break area for the employees to take a few minute break....that should have been my first indication of what i was getting myself into. as a manager you are expected to work 50-70 hrs, 6 days per week and forget your summer if you plan on having one...it is the busiest time and everyone is required to work. they make EVERYTHING difficult...their purchasing systems are absolutely mind numbing...it take weeks to get anything and then weeks to get the vendor paid. forget trying to keep a budget there is NEVER enough money for the way the club should be taken care of. when you spend money to keep the club looking nice it just comes out of your bonus. promises from upper management are un-kept.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
