Pros

Lots of training and support. Lots of field work.

Cons

It's a small team, which can be good and bad. Also, you have to be outside despite bad weather or high levels of atmospheric smoke. Comes with the territory.

Great Summer Job

Pros

Great staff, environment, and a positive overall working atmosphere. You primarily get to work outdoors with the nature with minimal stress. Great balance of personal time and work time. Great for high school and college students who want a summer job.

Cons

Training is minimal, the best way to learn is working on the actual job through returning employees. Can get very busy during peak season and put a strain on the number of employees required.

Fun

Pros

It was an unmatchable experience. There wasn't an interview. It was straight to training. We got a little booklet with teaching tips, tricks, and games, and a lot of guidance (and freedom) over the weeks. Also, free rentals (I taught myself how to snowboard on my breaks) and discounted food.

Cons

It was stressful to work with kids, obviously, but that's unavoidable. What I didn't expect was the amount of heavy lifting we would have to do (children and adults fall a LOT). And, well, also, it can be cold. Very cold.

Work life balance vs. Minimal pay

Pros

Work life balance. Outdoor recreation. Outdoors. Work with children. Wide range of opportunities. Professional development and training is important to this organization.

Cons

Lack of employment equity. Some employees are getting paid top dollar for equal work as employees who are getting paid minimum wage. Changes take a long time as the organization is slow to progress. Park board prevents a lot of changes from happening. Can be stressful with a lot of work for one person to do.
