Pros

Miami has a good benefits package, inclusive of a pension program and comprehensive medical benefits. Goverment discounts are also available to City employees.

Cons

The nepotism and cronism in the City of Miami is at an all time high. Over qualified people are looked over for positions that under qualified people are being hired for.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
