Pros

Free Membership (somewhat) flexible hours Members are friendly Great for a high school student

Cons

Managers and employees are cliquey, will write you up for no reason to "weed you out" so they can fire you. No room for promotions Bad pay Inconsistent hours - one week they give you 30 hours, the next they'll give you 4. Facilities will have problems such as equipment breaking or water leaks/no air conditioner and corporate will take 3 weeks to address the issue (My gym went 4 weeks in July without air conditioner) Treat employees like they do not matter to the gym- Gold's is all about making a profit, not about treating members and employees the best way they can.

Pros

Nothing. Do not even think its going to be good.

Cons

Everything. Company is using software from two decades ago. Their daily company meetings are pointless. The company is ran by juice heads who are only promoted because they been with the company for awhile, not because they excel and know how to train and develop people. They run through people like no tomorrow because the pay is under industry standard.
