Pros

Loved my clients, some of my coworkers became my closest friends. Convenient location.

Cons

I was at lifetime for nearly two years. The pay was awful— you had to pay back the company what you earned in Commission. I was full time, but after this past September, I took a 3 day vacation, my status changed to “part-time” in the system so I lost all of my benefits and PTO I had accrued. I was trying to get it changed for so long, but it never happened. So I asked if I could actually go part-time in March and was denied. So that’s when I stopped caring. For 5 months, I was working my butt off full time and never received any benefits. How can that be legal!!! I even brought it up to corporate and HR and nothing had changed. Life Time does not Care at all about their employees. They just view you as a dollar sign. And the general manager most certainly does not care, although he highly claimed that he does. I had to work endless hours- 12 hour shifts most days just to make ends meet. And even then, I was still struggling.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
