    The Work-Life Bowl

    an 

    Attorney

    I started a new relationship with someone I really like, it has potential to be once in a life time connection. The issue is she has children. I never wanted kids, but her kids are really good kids and I’ve enjoyed hanging out with them a lot. It’s such a red flag mentally for me, but I have no actual reason to not move forward.

      dead end, poor management

      Feb 12, 2023 - Facility Operations Team Member in Ajax, ON
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      zero, after working there, you begin to hate the gym, and don't want to work out there anyways..

      Cons

      I am actually wondering if these are real people leaving these positive reviews. I don't know anyone from our club who is happy, literally everyone is looking for another job. The management is poorly trained, rude and heartless. It has created a very poor work environment. The wages are extremely low for the work that is required. Don't be fooled by the free membership perk. Most employees happily walk away from it.
