Pros

For a partime the job isn't bad. but the turnaround is really constant and you are constantly having to work with new people.

Cons

new people working constantly because people don't stand the pressure of the job and end up quitting all the time

Business Outlook

Pros

Top of the line equipment, best instructors and facility. Great classes and class availability. Instructors held strictly to high standards with certifications. Classes are full and provide you a great training experience on the job. You make friends with common interests. Great job for networking with professionals that have memberships.

Cons

Bad overall mentality of disgruntled workers, especially with management. Did not help with certification costs.

Assistant department head

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free membership Medical, Dental, Vision program Indoor/Outdoor Pool Spa Cafe SOME discounts on services (Spa, Personal Training, Classes)

Cons

General Manager promised a 3 week training period out of the club. (Was only 1 week at my club, then cancelled the training due to too many problems in the department, never allowed to go back to training) Hiring process for employees takes close to 4-8 weeks, too slow especially when summer help leaves. 35,000 p/yr for Department head position, when YMCA is paying close to 60,000 p/yr Stepped down to Assistant Department Head to learn more and receive more training. NEVER GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE OR TRAINING. In a year and a half of being an employee, there has been 3 General Managers, and different Department Head changes throughout club. Reaching profit goals are unattainable as a Department Head Expense budget makes it impossible to properly run department with enough employees.
