A company which squeezes

Pros

You get to wear uniform featuring the iconic "Virgin" group name, second to none training, policies which keep you and the company safe!

Cons

The company will squeeze as much out of the clubs as possible due increasing budgets to near impossible reach keeping the shareholders and board paid, thus staff are left working harder with very little benefits.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. It's great to hear that the training & policies were useful to you, it's something we're really proud of. I will pass your other comments on to Management in the hope that we can improve this where possible. If you have further/more specific examples you'd be able to share with me, please email peoplehub@virginactive.co.uk (FAO Jeanette). I think you'll be pleased to know we have now launched some great new Virgin Values which take us back to our core Virgin roots and we're positive they'll make a great impact in 2017! Thanks again for your thoughts. All the best.
