Gold's Gym reviews

When I accepted this job, the position I was taking obviously wasn't clearly illustrated to me. I thought I accepted a job as a sales person, but the job ended up consisting of a lot of cold calling, outreach and promotion. Actually selling a membership consisted of about 5% of my work week. Instead of communicating with people about the gym, I spent most of my hours leaving voice mails. My manager spent more time breathing down my neck than he spent in his office, and I hated it. You had to document your every action and turn it in at the end of the day, and even if you spent your entire day trying your very best, it was never enough. You will be expected to make around a hundred calls a day (not joking), that will consistent of sixty voicemails, fourty angry people, and ten potential members. You'll be expected to use your own gas to drive around to local businesses and beg them to promote you, and people will steal your sales all the time. The commission you'll make from all this work is next to nothing, and you'll get a very low hourly rate (usually minimum wage). It's the most stressful job I've ever had, and I've never done so poorly in sales. WOMEN, BEWARE. Working here is a boys club. Women are left alone to do their job if you work in childcare. If you are in management or sales, be prepared to be compared, in all of the wrong ways. You will be harassed and disrespected by the members, and receive equally bad treatment from coworkers, just more descrete.

The company doesn't pay it's training staff well. Customers were paying anywhere between $55-$65 a session and training staff was getting paid $10-12 an hour. I was required to be there for a certain amount of time when not training and that pay was minimum wage.
