Pros

Young and exciting company, Free Gym Membership, upbeat and fun working atmosphere, excellent opportunities to network with a wide variety of successful people from all walks of life.

Cons

Unprofessional, disorganized, Snobby/Catty work environment that reminds you of high school, favoritism is rampant and no matter how good you are if "management" doesn't like you, you won't advance. A few of the managers got their "management" job simply by who they knew- with absolutely NO knowledge or talent in customer service or dealing with people.

Pros

free gym membership your own office

Cons

Sales quotas can be aggressive, and there is constant pressure to hit monthly targets regardless of market conditions. Success often depends heavily on club traffic, lead quality, and location, which can make performance feel inconsistent. Long hours and weekend availability are frequently expected, especially during promotional periods and month-end pushes. Compensation can fluctuate significantly if sales goals are missed. Management styles vary greatly by club; some locations offer strong support while others can be highly numbers-driven. Administrative tasks and CRM follow-up can become repetitive and take time away from building member relationships. High turnover among advisors can create additional workload for remaining team members. Advancement opportunities exist but can be competitive and sometimes unclear. The focus on sales metrics can occasionally overshadow the hospitality and member experience aspects of the role. Corporate initiatives and promotions can change frequently, requiring advisors to quickly adapt messaging and sales strategies
