Hard work and time doesn't pay off there, it's all about how much upper management likes you as a friend. - Operations Life Time Employee Review

Pros

The company's employees and members are all down to earth for the most part. And they all are pretty much good understanding people who treat you as family as a business. The environment evolves from a gym to a second home.

Cons

The problems come in when your direct or even secondary managers are placed in management positions after coming from a totally different company that doesn't even have anything to do with a fitness company setting and they have horrible communication skills. Now that was just from my stand point. After putting in four years of hard work going above and beyond of what my job description was for four years, I was tossed out like a dog by my direct manager. And I'm not a guy who states that I work hard, I work hard because I didn't get to finish college and I know that without a degree it's going to be hard for me to get where I want in life. But when you constantly take shift for your managers and take on managerial responsibilities (ordering shipments of supplies, contacting vendors with problems, dealing with corporate district managers, etc..) and you get payed like you're a teenager at $8-$9 after being told you're going to be moved up into the company ASAP over and over, you develop a mutual hate for what you've been through.

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!
