Pros
You have a job Lot's of Kool-Aid to drink, if you hope not to get fired. The motivation you gain by quitting and aspiring to move up in life.
Cons
I have first hand knowledge of how this corrupt and narcissistic company works.. I consider myself and honest hard woking person, what I experienced during my time at life time fitness was the worst I've ever experienced. As I look back at my experience, I realized that it was more like being apart of an occult then a company. You either worshiped the Iranian born CEO Bahram Akradi and his soulless followers or you did not. That is why this company has such a horrendous turnover problem. I was a manager, and most of the people I hired never lasted. If you were overweight or did not fit the company standard you never made it to the second interview or if you were hired, were sent off to the laundry room to wash and fold hundreds of towels day in and day out. This was so you were not "seen" by members. Good people were either let go, financially starved and just walked out. The slave wages and poor benefits are used like a dangling carrot until you realize it's just not worth it.. Iranian CEO Bahram Akradi has amassed a large fortune off the backs and sweat of people like me, and my staff desperate to earn an honest living. While he pushes the lie of "The Healthy Way of Life Company" Its all a lie folks, smoke and mirrors. I was so tired of 10+ hours days trying to keep his clubs clean, that working out was physically impossible. Plus, any time I had left was time spent with my family, whom I barely saw. Bahram Akradi's best skill as a leader?.......... EXPLOIT CHEAP LABOR. Go to school, become a professional, earn a trade, start your own business, do whatever you can to stay away from companies like Life Time Fitness.
