Pros
I was motivated by the free membership and the part-time hours.
Cons
Support from Curves International to the individual location I worked for was ineffective. Leaders assigned to assist stores are behind the times with training development and seem to be experimenting with their stores rather than analyzing specific needs and tailoring solutions to those needs. If something is working in Tokyo, Japan, International believes it can work in a small retirement town in California. When given feedback, it was not considered. Instead, owners are expected to continue spending their own money to try different methods to increase profits, all the while losing money. As an instructional designer who worked there part-time while recovering from an accident, it was very discouraging.
