Pros:
1. you get to apply what you learned in personal training with diverse clientele.
2. Commission gives opportunity to earn a decent living if you are good with sales.
3. All the equipment you need.
4. Possible mentors.
5. Freedom to work when you want (usually).

Cons:
1. Sales pressure. It becomes harder to sale as you gain clients and have to manage your time more carefully.
2. Co-workers who might try to steal clients /leads.
3. Split shift hours.
4. 1-3% of gym clients are actually personal training market.
5. Commission structure can change in a moment.

2 cents:
Get as many clients in front of you as you can. Re rack the weights. Observing gym memebers like it. Don't be afraid to ask for the sale. I would recommend staying a short while, no more than 3-5 months. Once your confidence is built up, go into business for yourself if you can afford it.
