High Energy Level: The enthusiasm and dedication of employees create a high-energy environment.

Cons
Inconsistent Leadership: The center manager at the specific location did not lead by example. He set policies for employees but did not adhere to them himself. Extended Absences: The manager's frequent and long absences, including 10-week summer vacations, showed a lack of commitment. Physical Strain: Employees were expected to stand throughout their entire shifts, which can be physically demanding. Cost-cutting at Employee's Expense: While a Sats shirt was provided, employees had to bear the cost of other necessary attire and accessories. Lack of Training: There was no on-the-job training, especially concerning handling hazardous chemicals, posing a risk to both employees and pool users. Unspecified Duties: Employees were tasked with cleaning duties, like maintaining the changing rooms, which were not part of the initial job description.
