Pros
You get a lot of respect from customers. Its not a physically hard job, everybody is helpful and nice, you work with the age group of (15-20) so if you are between that age group, there is always the chance of you making a couple of new friends. The bosses and managers are really nice, professional and understanding. You also get plenty of annual leave days. I think being a lifeguard is the best first job you can get.
Cons
The rota can be really bad sometimes, but there more leisure centres that have worse rotas/working hours. The provided equipment is a bit poor, but its not too bad. Being a lifeguard can be boring sometimes when you work with people that you dont normally talk to. Going to Pool training after your shift can also be a littlebit annoying. There is not a lot of Career opportunites for you..Personally I think its just kind of a first job, that you will leave one day..But oh my, what a first good job it is..
