City of Miami on a downward spiral. - Anonymous employee Miami Employee Review

Working as a Water Safety Instructor was meaningful because I was able to teach an important life skill while helping keep people safe. The team environment was generally positive, and the job gave me solid experience in communication, responsibility, and working with families and children. Scheduling was also fairly manageable for a part time role.

The job could be physically tiring, especially during long shifts in the heat. Pay and advancement opportunities were somewhat limited, and some days could feel repetitive depending on class schedules and pool activity. At times, staffing and workload could also make shifts more demanding.

Able to help fellow residents with issues affecting their quality of life.

Some coworkers are not fully invested in their jobs or performance.
