I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Life Time (San Antonio, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
The interview was quick since I had no previous work experience. I talked the the department manager for a about ten minutes the usual "describe a time when you had to solve a problem". A couple days later i had an a meeting with the general manager. The interview lasted about a minute and a half. All he wanted was to see if i had memorized their mission statement which I did.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Life Time (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview process was unnecessarily long for a lifeguard position. I felt like they expected a lot from only a student applyng for basically a minimum wage job. But, the woman interviewing me was friendly and the questions were easy for the most part. Great benefits like a free gym membership if you do work here, so not the worst thing in the world.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Life Time (Chanhassen, MN) in Oct 2017
Interview
I was contact by a HR rep shortly after I submitted an application. We did a brief phone interview a couple days later. She asked the typical questions (tell me about yourself) etc. I was told they were looking for someone to fill the position immediately and that I would be contacted to set up an in-person interview.
Here's where things get extremely frustrating.
After playing phone tag for 3 days with the girl who is supposed to set up the meeting, I finally get a hold of her to schedule the interview. Well she doesn't know the persons schedule that I'd be interviewing with. We hang up and she calls me back later. Finally we get an interview on the books for 2 weeks later, I'm supposed to meet 2 gentleman . Seems like a long wait for a company that wants to hire someone ASAP but okay..
I go in for the interview and only 1 of the gentleman is present. He asks resume-related questions and shows me around the complex. He says he's very interested and he's going to have the gal call me to set up an interview to meet the other guy who apparently couldn't make it that day.
Again played phone tag with the scheduler girl and get an interview on the books for 3 weeks later. Seems like a long wait, but I'm interested in the position and I agree.
The DAY BEFORE the interview the gal contacts me saying they need to postpone the interview.. ok, what date are we postponing to? She doesn't know and says she will call me the next week. Next week rolls around and guess what? No phone call. I call her and no answer. I email her and ask when the postponed interview will take place.
3 WEEKS LATER I get a generic email saying the position has been filled.
Are you kidding me? I have never been jerked around like this in my whole life. This experience has left a terrible taste in my mouth for LIFETIME. If someone is genuinely interested in working for your company then how about you treat them with some respect? You can bet I will tell my friends/family/colleagues to choose a different gym.
