Pros

Great product that equinox provides to their members.

Cons

Their salary for management is just not on par with other similar jobs and definitely does not compensate for how much you are worked here. Corporate has major demands but they are very out of touch with the day to day of being an AGM or GM. Also, keep in mind, for 65K you can typically manage a team of 10 somewhere that is open 9-6pm (ish.) But at Equinox, you are getting paid the same and get you have a bunch of different departments and up to 50+ people under you AND the business hours are 5:30am-11pm! AND you work 12+ hour days last 4 days of every month. AND you work at least one weekend day. AND you’re expected to just be on call every time something happens operations wise. It’s chaos.

Cons

Sales quotas can be aggressive, and there is constant pressure to hit monthly targets regardless of market conditions. Success often depends heavily on club traffic, lead quality, and location, which can make performance feel inconsistent. Long hours and weekend availability are frequently expected, especially during promotional periods and month-end pushes. Compensation can fluctuate significantly if sales goals are missed. Management styles vary greatly by club; some locations offer strong support while others can be highly numbers-driven. Administrative tasks and CRM follow-up can become repetitive and take time away from building member relationships. High turnover among advisors can create additional workload for remaining team members. Advancement opportunities exist but can be competitive and sometimes unclear. The focus on sales metrics can occasionally overshadow the hospitality and member experience aspects of the role. Corporate initiatives and promotions can change frequently, requiring advisors to quickly adapt messaging and sales strategies
