Pros

mission, values, working with people, opportunity for advancement, shared beliefs by other staff members, training opportunities, working with community members and customers/program participants

Cons

pay, work hours, low levels of community support, low recognition, little incentive to work hard due to no raises or bonuses on an annual basis. Have to work with everyone in community which can be a task at times.

Pros

Fun, lively atmosphere. Lots of multi-tasking which made things interesting. Fairly easy work. TIme passes by quickly since there is so much work to do.

Cons

Mean, angry customers constantly complaining about petty things. Outdated computer systems. Cleaning and picking up towels in locker rooms. Smelly.

Pros

If you work in Estes Park, it is beautiful Guaranteed 40 weeks Ability to meet tons of people from around the world There is always something to do after work

Cons

The staff is not treated well at the Y. Half of the pay is taken for room and board, leaving most employees making around 4.50 an hour. And if the Y overbooks the dining rooms for the guests, the employees food suffers drastically as all the good food is given to the guests. The management doesn't really respect the employees for the most part.
