Pros

Its a fun job to have if you like kids and sports. It is usually in a convienient place to work, and the hours are usually flexable. Also when you ask for time off, its usually given with no questions and long as your a reliable employee.

Cons

Its not very organized or proffesionsal. (e.x. dont get paid for orientations). I personally dont get very many hours. And they dont let you clock in for things that you should get paid for. ( i have at least put in 10 hours of work that i am not allowed to be recodnized for). Also communication with some of other employees is small.
