Dobbs Ferry, NY (US)

Former Employee – worked at New York Sports Club full-time for less than a year

ProsFree Gym Membership.
Friendly Co workers

ConsExtremely unorganized company and management.
Was hired, asked to come in on my 1st day to be sent home bc "my paperwork did not go through yet" and I didn't end up starting til almost a week later after I was pressured to not give a 2 week notice to my previous job.
The program I was hired to run was a complete joke. It was in complete shambles due to the fact that no one had been in charge of it for months prior. I felt like i was thrown into a mess. My first paycheck I received was over 2 weeks late. The morale of other employees as numerous other clubs is pathetic. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet organized, Work on employee morale,

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Long Island City, NY (US)

Current Employee – been working at New York Sports Club full-time for less than a year

ProsFree Gym Membership Great rates for training

ConsMicro Managed to the extreme! Promised the world when you first start, If you have a slow month be prepare to look for another job they only pay 6.00 hr for Membership Consultants. This Job would probably be good for someone who is retired Not for someone who needs a solid Income. Job duties are Telemarketing and Prospecting and you will not get compensated for gas

Advice to Senior Managementpay a better base salary to your membership consultants they basically are the people who keep you in business

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Brooklyn, NY (US)

Former Employee – worked at New York Sports Club part-time for more than a year

ProsFree access to the gyms, free shirt as part of the uniform, somewhat flexible houra

ConsFront line employees who do all the work dont matter. Employee turn over rate is very high because most people are under paid. Hiring standards are low and a bunch of degenerates get hired. Staff consists of a mix of teens and middle aged excon-like characters

Advice to Senior ManagementIncrease hiring standards, raise wages, and at least try to train the employees

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
