      Pros

      Staff are usually great and friendly

      Cons

      Changes mean that staff are required to do more work without reward or pay increase. Pay is not great and does not improve for long periods of time (years). Working in a gym where people pay a lot for their membership means that they become very frustrated when things go wrong, which means that as the first point of contact you receive a lot of bad treatment from members (rudeness and aggressiveness) which wears you down after a while. The company knows this but does nothing to reduce this or improve the situation. Staff have suffered many cases of abuse which has led to no consequences.

      Hi there, Thanks for leaving your response. Glad to hear that you enjoy working with your colleagues. Also, we do pay competitively within the industry, I do hope that you would like to develop within Virgin Active and have spoken to your Line Manager about this if you wanted to progress? Thank you, Radha
