Pros

It provides a fun environment. They have flexible scheduling especially for students. There's some oppurtinity for advancement, and you get to make a difference.

Cons

The pay is not ver good or competative, there's some opportunity for advancement, but not much. You are sometimes put in stressful situations, and I don't think the training is adequate.

Pros

Salary was comparable to other private companies. They offered flexible work hours and part-time employee benefits. Houston division was an incredible place to work. Lots of possibilities for advancement; great management. Great training programs.

Cons

Dallas division was awful. Senior corporate management was extremely disrespectful to little worker bees at individual YMCA sites. It was very "cliqueish".
