Pros

I started as a cashier and worked my way through the membership desk and then to COS. My first club was a very established club with many 15+ year tenured associates that took great pride in their jobs. Pay was among the highest in the area for the job and was appropriate based on cost of living. Benefits are ok if you are a relatively healthy single, but if you have a family it can get quite pricey. If management is cool you may be able to get dibs on clearance merchandise.

Cons

In one of the clubs I worked in, there were times during the day where I was the only hourly supervisor on the floor. Management frequently disappeared when needed. Staffing at many clubs is spartan to say the least. Floor associates refuse to learn how to run register and assist front end when busy. Payroll gets extremely tight at the end of the week and leaves me short handed.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
