Pros

Consistent part-time schedule, great short-term/summer employment option

Cons

At some pool locations, there is a misunderstanding of how much work truly goes into keeping the facility clean on a daily basis and management understaffs as a result

Pros

No pros come to mind. Would have to seriously think about it to even come up with one. First season working for them and definitely will be the last.

Cons

The pay is very minimal considering what lifeguards put up with from patrons, management, etc. Management overall treats their employees incredibly poorly with little to no respect. Harsh criticism/disrespectful interactions with “core managers” are constant, while a constructive and helpful managing style is nonexistent. The job is pretty physically exhausting, given that you are in the sun all day and expected to be on deck “cleaning” for 10 minutes of your 15 minute break. Zero time to sit down, eat, drink water, etc.
