I was a uni student working as a lifeguard. The management that didn't have lifesaving training would poo poo us taking our legal 10 minute breaks and would always prioritse favoured staff. The monthly training itself was great. I worked twice a week ontop of studies but couldn't bring a friend
What did you like most about the interview process?
I sat down, had a chat, got the job
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Were good at accommodating me needing to go home during reading weeks etx
What makes you most happy at work?
The free meals that we sometimes got which were great for uni student, the staff on my level were very chatty and it made me feel good to come into work
What are some of the best things about your team?
The people on my level were great to talk to and work with, but some of the management that didn't have life-saving qualifications never seemed to quite understand how important our job was
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
It was very isolating and seemed that there was no budget to have enough lifeguards available. There was some days where the pool would be at capacity for one lifeguard and management would refuse to come and help.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I worked twice a week but didn't qualify to have another adult membership to bring a friend. I could only have a child membership on top of mine, but I didn't have anyone to bring with me so the membership was wasted. Lifeguards are very important and shouldn't be undervalued like we were
