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

The managers are willing to work around your schedule. The schedule you pick is the schedule you have for the next 10-15 weeks. Attendance bonus = 2/hour for every hour work in that quarter. Sub bonus = get payed an extra $1/hour just for subbing for somebody Company outings Growing company!! Not an easy job; however, management is always there to help

Cons

Sometimes working with chlorine can make your skin very dry at the end of the shift. Hard to find subs Sometimes you really need to have a lot of patience and if you don’t have it then this isn’t the job for you.

More salaried managers would be appreciated and needed for the work load that is needed.
