Pros

Very easy application process, fun to work at the pool for the summer, can work lots of overtime during parts of the summer

Cons

Poor pay across the board, many of the pools are very understaffed, management quality from pool to pool is inconsistent, have to pay for own uniform and lifeguard course, if you put full time or management be prepared to work lots of overtime in May and August, experience varies from pool to pool

Pros

Other Pool Managing Guards were easy to communicate with, and easy to work with. Easy to get training certifications.

Cons

Upper Management was grossly negligent. They didn't fire employees who committed misconduct and were reported multiple times by multiple patrons and staff. This includes but is not limited to employees being under the influence of drugs, alcohol, pushing kids into the pool, intentionally misusing pool chemicals, commenting on the appearance of patrons in an inappropriate fashion, and not paying attention to primary lifeguarding responsibilities. Company also provided terrible hourly wages when compared to similar jobs. Managers on Duty are paid below what other lifeguarding companies or local pools offer their guards and managers. Upper management is terrible with communication when dealing with deficiencies in supplies of first aid equipment, chemicals, and fixing of chlorine pumps. Company culture does not value nor reward hard work, focus, and enforcing rules at pools.
