They can create a more healthy work environment
Reception Manager (Former Employee) - Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape - 24 March 2022
Just plain lack of integrity from senior management, in that they tend to manipulate the work due processes putting other employees in compromising positions

Demotivating
Reception Manager (Former Employee) - South Africa - 7 March 2021
It's depends. You gain lots of face to face interactions with members. You learn how to deal with different types of people and you learn more about yourself as you find yourself in different situations. Management is okay, most managers are not experienced. The work place culture is dependent on your manager. The hardest part of the job is that you have to motivate yourself more than anything. Giving your members magic moments
Pros
Free membership for yourself and one other person
Cons
Long hours. No growth. The salary. No bonuses

Unorganized
Reception Manager (Former Employee) - Lakefield, Gauteng - 30 May 2020
Management was unfairly treating people, favoritism, lack in training. Staff members were being under paid for long hours, organized shifts, disrespectful treatment from admin.

Challenging and active environment
Receptionist (Former Employee) - Gauteng - 12 November 2019
Having a typical day at work will be not having a busy day with few members accessing the club few queries to attend to. Everyday at planet fitness is a learning day u gat to learn different things from different people such as how u supposed to greet meet and talk.management should be fair at all times.

Fun workplace
Senior Reception Manager (Current Employee) - Cape Town, Western Cape - 20 August 2019
Great place to work.
It is fast paced which helps makes the shifts go by quickly.
The most enjoyable part of this job for me is the great group of people that you work with every day and also the work benefits are very good. (discounts at certain stores)
But, the minimum wage rate is too low for the amount of hours worked.

Long hours and no compensation

Dull and no growth within the company
Receptionist (Current Employee) - Pretoria North, Gauteng - 29 November 2016
The company has to give young people a chance to learn things and grow within the company matters not the experience. The management needs to be productive and listen to every concern of each employee. they also need to review employees salary looking at their performance not their skin colour
Pros
Exercise for free
Cons
Long hours

Planet fitness is a company that hires according to the qulifications for a specific job, there is non discrimination regarding ethnic group or race
Reception Manager (Former Employee) - Pretoria, Gauteng - 9 August 2016
The company requires people to work shifts sometimes very late working hours but it was manageable, they pay fair salaries and their salaries are paid at the time when they are due. The management listens and despond to the workers needs. Duties are manageable because training is provided before one tarts working at a certain position.
Pros
Incentives for good perfomances
Cons
Very late and Very earky working hours.

Serious about Business
Receptionist (Former Employee) - Sandton, GP - 30 December 2014
Dealt with different and regular members to gym, learnt excellent Switchboard skill and great Customer service skill. Took orders from management and had great relation with colleagues and trainers. The hard part of the job was standing form the time you get to work but got used to it as time went on. The most enjoyable part was interacting with guest making them feel welcome and solving problems.
Pros

Cons
Standing for long hours
