Pros

Great people who care about their jobs. Friendly environment, and overall a pretty relaxed guard position.

Cons

Lots of pressure to pick up shifts. Management has unreasonable expectations and there are no raises currently expected for lifeguards. They place the business needs higher than the needs of their employees and expect them to stay working in such an environment that does not listen to their feedback

Pros

You will always be doing mission-driven, impactful work at this organization, Everyone who works here truly cares about the mission, it just comes through in different ways sometimes. The benefits package is impressive and includes a significant amount of PTO days, very competitive retirement contributions, gym membership, and so much more.

Cons

The organization is still working on finding its footing going into the future. There are a lot of really exciting projects and initiatives coming down the pipeline, but the foundation isn't quite solid yet. There is intentional work being done to improve this, but with current capacities of staff and budget constraints it will continue to be a an uphill challenge. Pay is low, but not unexpected in the non-profit sector in Austin.
