Pros

-good pay - easy to move up in the company - some managers were fun to work with - the kids you teach/ the difference you make in their lives

Cons

-there is a different rate when you clean (minimum wage). You are not allowed to leave your until the entire building is clean or you will be written up, they will not hire a janitor. i often found myself staying an hour to an hour and a half after my shift to clean with other co-workers, it wasn't light cleaning either, it was get on your hands and knees and scrub the floor. this is a deal breaker for me, i need to be compensated fairly, I'm a swimming teacher, NOT a janitor.

Pros

Gives you space to really develop yourself skills if this is something you want to do.

Cons

It has become corporate and money driven. The bottom line is becoming more important than families. Things feel chaotic and corporate doesn’t communicate well. Management is constantly over worked and underplayed. There is no way to accomplish all of the new mandates corporate has implemented in the last few years
