Good pay but toxic culture and no advancement - Studio Attendant SweatHouz Employee Review

Really helping people and there's opportunity to earn great commissions.

If you don't like sales, this can be a tougher job.

Use of facilities - that is the only benefit.

I want to be clear I am not speaking on behalf of all Sweathouz locations. I am only speaking on behalf of my experience in San Francisco - NOT - Colma, Daly City, CA. I understand this is a franchise and not all management or lack of management is the same so please keep this in mind if you are looking to work here. My experience here proves not everyone is mature enough to work in management and often will put friends or people they "trust" in positions of leadership when really they need therapy. No pun intended. Essentially management wants young and often college students to hire so they can easily manipulate and bully them into working EVERY I Mean EVERY Single day under non livable wages and less than ideal working conditions. They will then complain about your work ethic when they are literally grinding you to the bone with no breaks during a scheduled shift, no adequate break rooms, or even a safe place to rest during required 10 minute and 30 min unpaid lunch breaks. How is this legal in California??? I encourage everyone when applying for a role ask about the culture and how long employees stay. If the facility has been open for less than 6 months and they already have completely new staff that is a major red flag. If you are looking to supplement income don't expect flexibility but if you want something for a short time then yes work here. But dont expect to be treated kindly by anyone. Unrealistic sales expectations with shady tactics. Also they don't pay their employees fairly or accurately. Often accusations with unreported and innaccurate wages. Also I experienced complete loss of paycheck over a "processing error". Also management at the Marina location will lie about sales goals resulting in smaller sales bonuses administered to the full staff. Or simply they will "forget" to enter data and then lie about it. Also management is high key racist only wants to hire young females and have certain appearance standards which are really discriminatory.
