Pros

The Y is a great place to work for a variety of reasons. It has very competitive pay for young workers. I was paid much more than I would be paid at another job of similar responsibility. It is a relaxed environment that gives you the opportunity to work with kids and members of the community. Very flexible when it came to working - I could work when I could. It was also nice to work outside.

Cons

You get a horrible farmers tan if you work outside, and the parents can be somewhat uppity.

Inconsistency, favoritism, constant change no one can keep up with, no empathy, no respect, no communication, toxic work environment, enabling the behavior of others while requiring regular trainings on work place harassment and actions that don’t match the company mission of healthy mind body and spirit.
