Rewarding job with difficult management

Lifeguard and Swim Instructor (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 2 April 2020

The job itself was rewarding and often enjoyable. The management team had some weak links that made things difficult. The City of Nanaimo tended to be a difficult workplace to break into unless you had family connections.
