IF you are thinking about employment with 11th Street Fitness Center in Washington, DC, - STOP!
The fitness center has old equipment (during my 1.5 month of employment there 2 people were hurt on the rusted/outmoded equipment), the steamroom malfunctions so it is left off, the floor in the group fitness room is giving in, the free weights are 30 years old AND the manager, Darryl Davis, deducts from hours that you were actually mandated to work!
To me it seems scandalous that the general manager, Darryl Davis, would deduct hours from your clock-ins and tell you " I approve the hours here."
This is illegal!
I was a victim as well as 2 other employees who left and or is leaving. I only have knowledge of 3 employees who had illegal deductions taken from their paychecks, but that is mainly because we were vocal and brought it to Darryl's attention.
Oh yeah, the company advertises a spa in its premises, this is FALSE!
To add, Darryl spends 90% of his day in "meetings" with employees or his socialites and encourages employees to work off of the clock.
LASTLY, the thefts in the men's locker room is bananas! At least once every 2 weeks it seemed like a theft was reported! I found out that the thefts have been going on for over 4 years!
The thefts are seamless, so SOMEONE has a master key and is stealing valuables from the men's locker room. Shortly before I left, a man had his credit card and cash stolen from his locker and the theft spent $20K on the man's credit card!
If you are a member of 11th Street Fitness Center, or thinking about employment there, don't do it! This company is poison and is headed for another bankruptcy!
I am going to sue for lost wages and damages.
