Pros

The hours are flexible, the team is usually fun to work with, breaks from rotations are nice, free ymca membership is definitely a plus.

Cons

Some shifts are undesirable. Dealing with bratty kids and adults can get really taxing. Cleaning up feces out of a pool is not something one wants to do.
