YMCA of Oakville Careers and Employment

I loved going to work, it was engaging and everyday was a new adventure. There is always stress on every job, but other staff are available to help out. Would highly recommend YMCA OF OAKVILLE!!

fun place to work

The YMCA is a decent place to work overall. Worked there as a life guard and camp counsellor and had a good time in both. If you're good at working with kids, it is a breeze.

The people are the best part

It's all about the team of people you are working with. I was lucky enough to have an amazing team! The summer went by incredibly fast. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, but I certainly have lots of fond memories to remember it by.

It's alright if you like kids

My experience at the Oakville YMCA started out great but deteriorated the more I had to work with management. The focus become more authoritarian like, it was about controlling behaviours of children rather than trying to understand why they behaved the way that they did. It felt like a babysitting job more than programming for children that would encourage learning and development. We were also often buying materials out of pocket due to a lack of budget.

Terrible place to work

I was fired without a reason. After 12 years working for the company. I was on their staff appreciation committee working beside the human resources manager.
