"Good Job - liked it here"
Pros
Simple job to have while in school and making some money
Cons
Hard to balance with school because if you?re sick or can?t make it, YOU have to find someone to cover your shift. If you can?t, it?s held against you.

"Not the best"
Pros
Free membership, which is a nice bonus
Cons
The dress code is ridiculous?khakis at a gym? Plus, you?re not allowed to sit during shifts, and management turnover is constant.
General Comments
Allow employees to wear gym-appropriate attire; it?s practical and aligns with the fitness environment. Staff should be allowed to sit during shifts to prevent unnecessary physical strain. Additionally, provide more than one uniform shirt without charging employees for it.

"Trainers are janitors at planet fitness"
Pros
If you?re busy and enjoy your clients, the day flies by
Cons
You can?t sit at the front desk, even when it?s slow. You?re expected to stay busy all the time, which gets exhausting.

"Pretty awuful"
Pros
Love my coworkers?great job for meeting people and being social
Cons
Only $13 an hour, required to stand for 8 hours straight, and your phone can be locked up if management decides. Plus, a lot of heavy lifting and cleaning for the pay.
General Comments
Facility maintenance needs serious attention. Many locations have equipment and infrastructure issues that are repeatedly overlooked. Start addressing these problems from the top down, especially if poor management is contributing to a toxic work environment.
