Lifeguard - Lifeguard Schlitterbahn Employee Review

5.0

Lifeguard

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Being outside, free admission, testing the rides in the morning, learning to save lives, pretty easy to move up in the company.

Cons

Really long hours for low pay. The gift shop people make more money than lifeguards and they have 25% of the responsibility. Full of high school kids, so really only a cool job if you're in high school or just starting college.
