      Good Place To Work, Better then Most Jobs For This Skill Level

      Lifeguard

      Pros

      Overall very good people. Great salary for the amount of education required. Always hiring. Great family environment created by the staff, counselors, guards. A very friendly atmosphere for everyone involved. Respect for everyone is paramount.

      Cons

      Some Lifeguards are not competent. Dealing with conflicts can then be difficult because of the very chummy attitude of the staff. Slow to get back to an applicant with papers. High turn over so making relations with coworkers difficult.

      Pros

      Full time employees receive a free family membership to the YMCA, and part time employees receive a free personal membership. They pay fairly well compared to other local employers and their 401k program is amazing.

      Cons

      They do not disclose corporate problems that will effect employees. They expect complete loyalty from their employees, but do not return it.

      Tremendous turnover among valuable employees, incompetent management stays.

      Pros

      One can help needy people and have the sense of doing something good in life. Recognized work experience when leaving for a better job elsewhere.

      Cons

      Irrational management at times, in a permanently changing environment. The management is always right, even if employees make justified complaints. Low salary vs. high demands. Great turnover, still no grassroots research on behalf of highest management, to improve employee satisfaction.
