Pros

The management team takes time to get to know you. They are extremely flexible with scheduling so you can work exactly how much you want. Everyone is extremely friendly and it is pretty easy to get shifts covered.

Cons

If you dislike swimming or getting your hair wet this is not the job for you. Class sizes can be big which can be overwhelming as a new teacher, but there are support systems in place to help

We’re thrilled to hear that you value the flexibility, friendly environment, and the support provided by our management team. Creating a space where our instructors feel heard and have the opportunity to thrive is so important to us. We understand that teaching can be overwhelming at first, especially with larger class sizes. While our classes consist of 1-4 students per teacher, we recognize that smaller groups might feel more manageable for new instructors as they gain experience. Your feedback is helpful, and we’re always open to ways we can improve the experience for our team. We appreciate you being a part of FOSS and look forward to continuing to support you in your role!

Pros

Gives you space to really develop yourself skills if this is something you want to do.

Cons

It has become corporate and money driven. The bottom line is becoming more important than families. Things feel chaotic and corporate doesn’t communicate well. Management is constantly over worked and underplayed. There is no way to accomplish all of the new mandates corporate has implemented in the last few years
