Pros

Free membership to brand new facility.

Cons

NO inter-department communication. Inconsistent management of pool (it was often the supervisors 1st job) No positive feedback from managers, often told employees all the things we were doing wrong, but never mentioned anything we did right. Lots of negative experiences with members. They would yell and scream at Lifeguards when we were just doing our jobs, then management would try to mollify them so they wouldn't drop membership. Other departments were extremely rude to aquatics because we were paid better (even though we have to have certifications and experience to work).

Pros

Great healthy way of life promoted to employees as part of goals and balance of work with life. Flexible time off with mixture of paid time off.

Cons

Does not recognize federal holidays - not a bank - so use personal celebration days to take time off when requested.

Pros

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
