Pros
Pretty consistent with promoting your pay every year (1$ more when you do contingent employment) Training was thorough.
Cons
Training you do have to pay for yourself, it is an online portion (super long, 7hr simulation) and in person training that takes all day (7am to 7 pm if i recall) that is part in water and part classroom. Not very long breaks but that does depend on location (size, number of guards hired. I was a part of a 2 person pool, had been one person at the first month/first year and was stuck with one 10 minute break every hour. (brutal in the heat) With two people it was switched, one on stand one inside, and switch. (think one on stand for 45, 15 min break together and the other goes on stand for next 45 etc.) management was a bit difficult with scheduling sometimes and communication.
