Leisure Centre
leisure assistant (Former Employee), Frome – May 24, 2013
Cons: long hours
My day was starting of cleaning duties working of a sheet where they were listed .in the duty managers office,. after when they all have been completed for the certain time, my job was to lifeguard on poolsite for 15 min 1 roatation on each station overall 45 min-eachtime when i was off poolsite my job was to go back to cleaning sheet doing extra jobs – more... or the jobs i was asked to do by one of my managers. Then, when a jobs have been completed, been helping at reception, cashing , serving people doing showrounds for customers which were intrusted in our leisure an memberships, and doing little jobs for a receptionist.. My favourite part of the job was working with people, meeting new people ,communicating helping each other and working as a team an individual and coaching games. The hardest part of the job was life saving, taking care of all bathers in the pool under your supervision and big pressure , must concentrate all the time and safe when is needed. Working there I, gain a lot of confidence with myself and poeple able to deal with stressfull and hard situations Im willing to learn even If is something what i havent experienced . There . is better something than nothing never late to learn, like giving myself a challange never give up even if is not going well always keep my head up and move forward. – less

Event Coordinator (Former Employee), New York, NY – December 13, 2012
Pros: challenging, event production
Cons: office dynamics
I pitched contacts in fashion, athletics, and entertainment for potential promotional events. I learned how to fit a product to a brand. Management was supportive. My co-workers were undermining. The hardest part of my job was dealing with the various personalities present in nightlife. The most enjoyable part of my job was event production, especially – more... for up-and-coming fashion designers. – less

Great place to work
CNA (Current Employee), Flint, MI – October 26, 2012
Typical day at work is always something new. There is never a repeat at my job. I learn so many different thing from working with this company. The one thing that stick out the most from that I learned is that I can get attached to a person that I have known for a short period of time. My co-workers are GREAT people to be around. The hardest part of – more... my job would have to be leaving out those doors from work. The most enjoyable part of my job I would have to say, is seeing a smile on the face of my patients! – less

Great learning environment.
Patient Care Provider (Former Employee), Fort Worth, TX – September 14, 2012
A typical day at work was consistently moving and on your feet for the twelve hour shift. Management was poorly run. Co-workers were helpful in learning their system. I enjoyed getting to help the same patients everyday. They were not flexible with my school schedule so I had to quit.

Great, friendly and productive work environment
Head Teacher (Former Employee), Busan, South Korea – August 16, 2012
Pros: atmosphere, co-workers, location
Cons: no free coffee sometimes.
There are very few negative aspects of working in Avalon Haeundae. First of all it boasts a great location right near Haeundae Beach in Busan. The culture, although typically diligent and demanding, also emphasizes friendliness and comradery. The management had a less controlling approach to dealing with employees. As a head teacher I was able to go – more... to meetings with the management and achieve reasonable goals that were executed fluidly throughout the semesters. Not surprisingly this kind of atmosphere was conducive to the educational purposes of the campus and the campus itself proved to be one of the successful one of the company. – less
