Pros

Perfect job for anybody who loves water and working with kids. Foss encourages its teachers to be silly and outgoing (it's actually more of a requirement) and you will be very successful if you are.

Cons

The majority of the classes are run during the evenings and weekends, and your schedule remains the same for about 3 months at a time. This can be VERY exhausting. If you are an hourly employee, you have to work yourself to the bone to get full-time hours. Communication between management can be frustrating at times.
