Pros
By far the best health club in Washington! It is extremely clean and offers a wide variety of amenities. Employees are genuinely happy to come to work and enjoy their jobs which creates a pleasant work environment. I can't say enough good things about working here! Lifeguards and swim instructors have a competitive pay scale with opportunities for raises. Occasionally there are sign-on bonuses and/or a bonus for referring a new employee. Aquatics management has an open door policy and is receptive to to concerns/ideas. The training process is well-rounded and sets the new employee up to succeed with all of the knowledge needed. The group of employees working in Aquatics is large so it is often not difficult to find coverage for a shift, even with short notice. Swim lessons are in high demand so there is no shortage of appointments to be booked - many instructors have full schedules. Full and part-time employees have excellent benefits such as an on-call doctors, discounted physical therapy and medical massage, free gym membership, competitive medical and dental benefits, discounts on services throughout the club, and many more.
Cons
Strict image guidelines such no visible tattoos, limited piercings, uniform requirements, etc. (not a Con personally but may be for some individuals). Discounts on childcare/preschool are not fantastic. Employees still have to pay for some of the workout/group fitness options - not every class is free for employees (although they are discounted from what the members pay). Chiropractic is not covered in medical benefits for full time employees and maternity leave benefits are lacking in comparison to other companies of this size.
