No Honor.

Swim instructor

Pros

Excellent Gym membership. You get access to a top-notch, state of the art gym; with one of the best aquatic facilities you can find. Making friends at the TM level is easy.

Cons

Company offers insanely high pay for the work you're doing, but don't believe a word of it. As a swim instructor, you are supposed to be paid even if your client doesn't show up (to help cover your time, and gas you spent to get here); well, that never happened. In the average day, only about a 1/2 - 2/3 of the clients show up, most are families where their child has a game or activity that day. So, you miss out on a lot of the pay that you were supposed to be given. DH's take credit for your hard work, and don't give you any raises or added benefits. You can't request off for a day you have swim lessons more than once every three months, even if you find a replacement. The company is a joke, when you consider how they treat you.

Pros

They are super to their Fitness instructors, but I also had an amazing Director. She's moved companies - and I moved out of state :( They are very innovative and willing to look at new ideas and class formats.

Cons

I honestly loved my job and the people I worked with - we were all a great team!
