Pros

Free membership for you and a friend to use at any virgin. You get to join tribe which gives you discounts on other virgin services e.g virgin experience days or virgin trains etc. You meet great like-minded people. If you actually like working there and they like you there are opportunities to progress.

Cons

No consistency. Some days the managers are laid back other days they are on everyone's case and micromanaging the staff. They get annoyed about silly things (due to their own inconsistencies) and then send petty emails to all the staff complaining. They focus on unnecessary extras for the members instead of focusing on the basics like keeping the changing rooms clean and making sure everything works, which is what members complain about. Some of the staff are lazy and don't get anything done and others get the blame for it. People come and go all the time because of the poor pay and the way things are run/the way they are treated.
