Pros

You can start your career as a personal trainer. I've seen someone at the front desk becoming a trainer too so it's not hard to obtain this job if they're hiring. You can have your own schedule as well. Free membership is also part of it.

Cons

If you're a new trainer you will have to constantly look for a new prospect by calling members and it could get tiring and annoying because you think you're there to train people but initially the majority of your hours will be conducting sales, calling prospects for minimum wage. Pay is also kind of bad but since it is an entry level job in my opinion, it's understandable. Build your career and client base here and move onto freelance training.

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.
