Pros

The company is about health and fitness, and those are good things for everyone. It has a lot of smart people that want to do good work. If you right hard and long enough for your idea your idea will be heard. They also seem to be expanding rapidly. Chance of getting promoted high if you are good looking

Cons

Equinox management does an awful job at recognizing effort and showing appreciation. There is little to no work life balance, regardless if you are in sales, personal training or corporate. They look down on you if you leave work and decide to do work from home. They do little to help their employees. The benefits are pretty awful compared to other employers. The corporate department pushes an image of sexy that they think is cutting edge but no one cares about. It's a gym - they refuse to call it a gym.

Pros

Free Equinox membership. Easily one of the biggest perks. You get access to a premium gym that normally costs hundreds of dollars per month. Health and fitness environment. You're surrounded by people interested in wellness, and many coworkers are into fitness. Customer service experience. Great resume builder if you're moving into hospitality, sales, banking, or corporate roles. Professional atmosphere. Equinox expects a polished appearance and high-quality service, which can help build professionalism. Networking opportunities. Members often include business owners, executives, and professionals in West Palm Beach. Relatively straightforward work. Most duties include greeting members, answering phones, checking members in, updating accounts, and keeping the lobby organized.

Cons

Pay is relatively low compared to the expectations and cost of living in South Florida. Many employees cite compensation as a downside. Can't call out sick.
