Pros

membership, 24hr shifts, dental coverag

Cons

I had tried for many months to get a job with Lifetime Fitness it had the hrs and convenience that I needed to have a family life too, plus a free membership. And being a memeber for 4yrs it seemed, from the outside, like a great place to work. I finally get the job and I was so happy. Well it turns out to be the WORST company I have ever worked for. They have no idea how to treat their employees. The turnover rate is so high and now I know why. Low pay, wich would be ok if you were able to do OT but OT is not an option. HIgh turnover rate so very hard to gel with those you work with. hard to get shift coverage 7 days of PTO per year this includes sick and vacation days. I have a family and if kids or I get sick i now can take a family vacation becasue I dont have the time. I have family out of state and go visit atleast once a year and need a week for travel. expected to be in uniform go pick up a radio and then punch in, this is time I am expected to work and not getting paid for. there are no incentives

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!
