Where to start? Other reviews seem to have addressed the main points, but I'll provide corroboration. Nothing matters here except revenue and profit. All decisions are made by first thinking, "What can we do to make money?" and working backwards from there. This culture starts at the top and reverberates down through the bloated ranks of middle managers.
There is so much pressure to generate revenue placed on managers, they find themselves acting in ways they might not otherwise, such as pushing employees to SELL SELL SELL instead of educating and developing them.
Employees also react to this stress by constantly gossiping and bringing their co-workers down to make themselves seem better by comparison. It's an incredibly stressful, toxic workplace. All this at a Wellness Center! The contradiction is insane.
Employees who attempt to address concerns with HR are treated coldly, and concerns are falsely addressed while the management team actually closes ranks and works to get rid of the "problem" employee. This employee can then be blamed for anything going wrong that was remotely related to them.
Do you have a master's degree in Exercise Science? Congratulations! Here is $12/hour to work on the "fitness floor" while you try to sell personal training.
If you're a member here and reading this--you only matter to the Wellness Center because you have money they can take.
