Pros
As a lifeguard the over time was amazing. Simple job. watch patrons, enforce rules. Pretty cool supervisors. As an area supervisor made lasting connections with my former co-workers. Lots of fun times at the office. Every once in a while free food.
Cons
As a lifeguard there was a lot of forced overtime. There was a point where I worked 5 weeks without a day off. Patrons automatically think you're an idiot. Property managers yell at you as if you're their employee and not a contractor. As an Area supervisor. Upper management expects you to be in the field from 8 am till 8 pm. Even though they are not exempt from it management finds a way to not pay overtime for the supervisors. According to the federal labor laws they are not exempt. By law they are supposed to pay per mile used in your vehicle. instead they pay 75$ a week. If you go over that 75 you're s.o.l.
