Pros

Reduced membership,free daycare,reduced program fees.Honeslty that is it.

Cons

They have the worst pay and the worst raises less then $0.25 a year even with a college degree. They gave $0.17 raises. Never had any money in the budget for improvements for the facility.Did not care what the employee's had to say only what they members thought. Very low morale. No ladder to climb barely and if you do they will salary you at a low pay and then work you a million hours a week. Nothing at Christmas not even a card. I could go on and on.

Pros

Free Membership. Really no other good reason.

Cons

Managers, especially in pool are far too stressed. Need to relax a little and not take little things so seriously. "Perception is 9/10 of the law." You know who you are. Good saying, not. Underpaid! Can easily go get paid much better at other heatlh clubs. Dont work here!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Pros

Great summer job, builds character and teaches you to work with a variety of people, in a variety of conditions. The facilities are top notch. The variety of classes offered to the campers is enough to spark everyone's interest in teaching at least one. Located on lake burton the lake it self is above and beyond lake lanier.

Cons

Long hours, low pay, and upset children. In addition you may have to preform a fair number of disciplinary procedures against unruly staff. Promotions become very political very fast based on the sheer number of summer staff going through the camp so be mindful when looking to the next year.
