Pros

They promote a healthy culture and have great facilities. Flashy name. Trendy industry. Leftover tickets to sporting events sometimes trickle down from the C-suite.

Cons

Low pay/poor benefits. Low morale. Unfair/Unjust promotion practices. HR department that is out of touch. Conflicts of interest with vendors. A legal department that has it's hands on too much of the business. Life Time Fitness is just another public company where the executives and the board are working for the stock and not taking care of the employees or the members. Decreasing benefits/increased benefit cost for non-executive employees = "effective lower pay". Ineffective leadership in the C-suite and director levels. A very reactive culture.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
