Shady business practices at the corporate & studio level.... steer clear!
Pros
Free fitness classes, if they don't bump you out for a paid client, instructor or friend.
Cons
Low wages (adjusting employees shift punches without consent or notification). Not a lot of hours, broken promises of promotions after months of training for a position. Lots of drama! Bad benefits, even once you are full time insurance is astronomically priced, no 401k. Tons of turnover, because none of the good employees would stay for long. If you did try to stick it out for the long haul after promises & verbal offers of raises, promotions, etc, you were never rewarded or appreciated. If you do happen to work here make sure you get things in writing. For a studio with such a high price tag per class, you would think they could compensate their employees above minimum wage. Management pay is just as bad. The only decent pay comes from being an instructor with a full class.
