Pros

Some colleagues are great people

Cons

Top management is a my way or highway type. She suppresses creativity and innovation. Sycophants are the ones who have power and control the crushing bureaucracy. Run!

Pros

Good people to work with, kind management (except for non-camp employees), and never a dull moment!

Cons

For camp, the facilities didn't fit the camp services required, had to work out of a parking lot and it seemed like upper management of the gym really wanted us out. Had to often make do, kids who were at camp all summer found it dull and caused issues. Everyone was exhausted. Good summer job for a year or two but I would have many gray hairs if I had to do it longer.

Pros

Low stress, can do homework while not on stand, great rotations and next to no task difficulty

Cons

Almost no reprimandations for bad performance/not completing tasks, at least for the pool area. Management is soft
