Pros

It's a fun job but it's a lot of work. You're in a pool for about 6 hours at a time with a 15min break they give you for lunch. If you want to take a sick day, forget it. The management understands the corporate does not care about its employees and tries to make it as pleasant as possible.

Cons

If you want to take a sick day, forget it. They are completely understaffed 24/7 and it's impossible to get your shifts covered. The management understands the corporate does not care about its employees and tries to make it as pleasant as possible. Be warned, this is a very demanding job and most of the job advertisements give it false pretenses. It's not an easy $20 an hour, fun in the water job. You have standards you have to meet every quarter and patient satisfaction is always a priority

Pros

Gives you space to really develop yourself skills if this is something you want to do.

Cons

It has become corporate and money driven. The bottom line is becoming more important than families. Things feel chaotic and corporate doesn’t communicate well. Management is constantly over worked and underplayed. There is no way to accomplish all of the new mandates corporate has implemented in the last few years
