Good virgin benefits but not good internal management

Lifeguard

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to work with good benefits such as free gym membership for you and one other. Also good to have access to virgin tribe to get different virgin discounts. The actual health club is a nice working environment.

Cons

The internal management changes too frequently and things get changed without any club wide communication. Lifeguards get treated very badly.
