Pros

Free gym membership for yourself and one other person Great staff Great members too Other perks working for Virgin

Cons

Job itself as it is a cleaning job can be quite disgusting Mundane Not really mentally stimulating Can be quite finicky, certain tasks require a lot of elbow grease and it seems like you are getting nowhere!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. It seems that you really enjoyed the amazing perks that are on offer! With our clubs being so busy and the constant run of members that are in and out, it is hard to keep it in the great shape that you did so thank you so much for all of your hard work. Radha.

Pros

Fun and stimulating environment and people. Great staff perks and discounts that extend to a friend

Cons

I went for months without having two days off on a weekend. I guess that's to be expected. My schedule bounced around which caused my body clock to do the same.

Hi there, this is exactly what we want to hear! People having fun at work in a great environment and I am sure that you make it so. Our Rotas are based on a 5 day Rota Mon-Sun. We do hope that you speak to your line manager about managing time and ensure that you get some down time. Thank you for all of your hard work so far. Radha

Pros

Interview was really friendly and positive often jumping from questions about the job to personal questions which made it feel more like chatting to a friend.

Cons

There weren't any downsides during my application process, if I am being picky there was no time frame given to expect a reply but it took just under two weeks.
