Pros

Work with great people within your own club. Good holiday allowances.

Cons

Poor upper management. Regional and above. Always changing bonus structure and setting unrealistic targets to make bonuses hard to achieve. Doesn’t have a people culture anymore and it’s all about the money. Blame is passed down to the bottom of the chain (gym managers).
