Gold's Gym Employee Reviews for Administrative Assistant

"Wanted to take on more responsibility and did the extra work, but corporation in this incarnation new, and managers and corp. struggled, no communication, difficult clients at one location, so I just dealt with it all, yet never advanced, never had sales resumees even looked at or received consideration for opportunities, though qualified and had proven myself to first four managers--extra shifts/work, all duties requested by initial management."

What do you like about working at Gold's Gym?

"working with people closer to my age, committed to health, ability to work out"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"It's gotten better, sleeker, yet less freedom to do all kinds of work. It has feel of corporate gym now, less heart."

What don't you like about working at Gold's Gym?

"New people who haven't worked 20-30 years can be frustrating. I found myself not talking, just doing all I saw that needed to be done at many levels, noticing who could work best with which clients, all general office duties, training referrals, some client management, all forms/logs, 2006 all register and reconciling, all storage organizing, all customer forms, as service for them, faxing/filling them out for them, holding/mailing, custom orders, paper/efiles, sales of retail products, open/close, yet overlooked consistently, years."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Do some of your own thinking. Notice which people are doing extra and fight for them. Don't use up best talent, do indoctrinate incoming not just with rules, but with mission statement, corporate goals and how individual employees fit in. Communications between site and corporate management have to be good and reliance on electronics and an always be polite habit, is no good when site opens two weeks late, hole in roof, nightly site problems, leaky ceilings which rain inside, and floods. Throw a fit if it's your reputation on the line, at the people who are supposed to take care of it. They get high steady salary and benefits and if they have to roll up pants/sleeves to mop up the damn flood, they should do it. I did it because no one else cared enough to make things work, some of the time, and we had no idea what to tell customers. So we covered and compensated. All of us, initially under Freschette, Miklos, Vergari."
