Look else where for career opportunities... Market team needs to go...

Not important. .

Business Outlook

Pros

The relationships that you build with associates and the members.

Cons

There is no need for management due to micro managing. The Market team that runs the Utah market is in competent, reckless and brutal. There is no concern for the management teams that run the clubs and a great lack of care for the hard working associates. Many issues are swept under the carpet and covered up. The team is very back stabbing and nice to your face. If the Market team does not like you or you cross them in any way they will plot a plan to coach you out the door.

Pros

Hourly compensation is higher than retail norm.

Cons

It's RETAIL! The "members" believe that YOU owe them something because they have purchased a membership.

Good job for someone looking to not work hard.

Pros

You do not need to do much work. Most people are only scheduled for 32 hours to prevent them from obtaining overtime hours.

Cons

The health insurance is almost offensive it is so poor. Also, they tend to "promote" people to salary positions, but then schedule them for 50+ hours a week with no overtime. Many times the people giving your reviews you have only met once or twice. It seems difficult to judge someone's performance when you have only seen them for a few minutes. The pay is poor but for a retail position it is probably around average. This is something that you know before you accepted the job though.
