Awful place to work

Lifeguard and Swim Instructor (Former Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 21 January 2020

Horrible managers, horrible environment, not paid enough. Treated like garbage. So glad I left and found the same job but in a different municipality and am getting treated so much better!

Lifeguard/Swim Instructor (Former Employee) - Abbotsford Recreation Center - 16 December 2018

I worked for the pool, it's a great job if you're in school or if you want some extra hours and have another job. It isn't that great if you do it full time as advancement and management isn't as optimized as other city pools (from what I know at-least). Overall, the pay is good and it's pretty chill as long as you show up and are decent.

Pros

Relaxed culture

Cons

Management/supervision not optimized

Didnt like it there

Lifeguard swim instructor (Former Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 13 June 2017

At frist they make it seem like you will get a lot of hours. But once you are hired you don't get any unless youre high up in seniority which is impossible to achieve. People will turn on you if they don't like you and find the smallest reason to fire you.

Great organization

I enjoyed work for the City of Abbotsford. They gave me all the opportunities to grow my career and when it came time for me to move on, they supplied me with excellent references.
