Terrible working conditions
Receptionist/Admin (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 25 January 2023
Planet Fitness is great as a fitness center, not a place of work as black people are underpaid and overworked. They have no bonuses and benefits for employees. A horrible workplace that's for sure .

Low wages, overworked

my review on both companies i have worked for
Sales Consultant (Current Employee) - Johannesburg, GP - 3 January 2016
in both companies the workplace was a fun filled area.There people there were glad to be there because they knew that we will b motivated to achiech and reach our targets and personal goals
i learned that a dairy can be a guide for u to reach everything you need in life.hardest part of the jobs were to get leads because not everyone wants what you selling so i had help from my fellow co-workers to help me close a client
The most enjoyable part of the job was we all were looking out for each other and there was no bad day at work everyday was a good day because we a good manager how motivated us and told us to forget about the past days and focus on the today and the coming days ahead
Cons
two hours overtime if needed

Productive at work
Reception Manager (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, GP - 30 October 2014
I learnt that a team and not an individual makes a success of the work environment. A day was full of many but small activities which have to be completed timeously. the company was still new so management was still also finding its footing in terms of placing procedures and protocols. The ing the extra hardest part was putting in the extra hours in order to make money for myself. sometimes I will have work 24 hours non stop only to rest for a few hours to return to work. I thoroughly enjoyed the free workout
Pros
you get to be fit and healthy for free
Cons
long hour shifts
