Pros

My specific gym had brilliant staff that I got on well with, and the structure allows you to work 12 hours for the gym while being seen by members, allowing you to build your business.

Cons

The pay that you receive for the work is not fair. It is minimum wage for labour-intensive work, that you have to have a qualification to do.
