- Zero safety commitment. Okay, maybe slightly above minimum, but I don’t know how that can be. Short staffed facilities, dangerously staffed facilities, and no safety support. Crazy, because at one time, they had a top notch safety team in place but they totally mismanaged them and dismantled the department. When given a choice between saving lives or being more profitable, their culture is the latter. Sad, because they touch so many lives every Summer, but not the way they should. And being safer can actually save them money, short and long term, if they don’t really care about the lives. All they really care about is whether the pool is open and whether somebody complained if it’s not, which it’s never not, because they don’t close the pools for normal reasons like not enough trained staff, or bad chem readings, or other things that just happen. - They don’t care about your career, or you as a person. Your career is nothing because they hide behind the right to hire/fire law as reason to just say “you’re done”. I have seen them do it. I have done it. It was done to me. It was done to others. It’s the MO. And it’s not like they try to manage you prior, tell you any shortcomings, let you know what needs to be changed. From a somewhat cowardly position, they make a “business decision” or “different direction” or “we can’t tell you”. I have seen people lose their entire careers after dedicated and meaningful service, not only making money for the company, but making a positive impact in service provided to the customer and the patrons.
