Pros

Clean Gym. Some Friendly People to work with.

Cons

Everything else. There was no guidance. I was told by management I was running the PT department. Then the owner tells all of the employees that I'm 'nobody's boss', so none of the trainers feel any need to listen when I delegate tasks, then I get blamed for their disobedience. The owner was a complete bully, a rich kid who was taught to treat people like dirt. He prided himself on coming in with the sole purpose of making the female employees cry. He demeaned people, spoke down to them, and EVERY SINGLE WEEK threatened not to pay us. The owner was a cruel, exploitative bully who used corporate seminar buzzwords like 'Positivity' and 'ROI' and 'Net' to play adult when, in reality, he had NO CLUE had to run a business or lead. The solution was always to throw money at a problem and demean his employees. Also, nobody was an employee! Everyone was an independent contractor! Yet the owner tried to boss them around! If you are not paying people an hourly wage, you can't demand they spend all their time at the gym! THE OWNER EXPECTED EVERYONE TO WORK FOR FREE WHILE HE MADE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A MONTH ON MEMBERSHIPS. There were no certified trainers except myself. This didn't feel like a training job. It was flat sales. This could have been a paper clip store, it didn't matter.
