Don't work here unless you can't afford the gym membership

Front desk receptionist

Pros

Your employment comes with a free gym membership (valued at $300/mo) to any Life Time in the country. Otherwise, I would NEVER work a part-time job for $12/hour. McDonalds pays way more than that

Cons

The systems and software are so poorly made, poorly designed, and never work. They are constantly changing rules, policies, procedures due to the CEO's lack of decisiveness. He only cares about certain clubs/locations. Poor business in a lot of ways, but they have a monopoly on all health/fitness centers/gyms in the Twin Cities
