Altitude Gym

This place is not really a climbing gym to be honest, maybe because the people running the place are not climbers? 90% of their focus is on birthday party, Clip n climb, and camps. Working here felt like the climbers didn't really matter, I spent most of my time dealing with kids, parents and not much related to climbing other than inspections. Your experience does not matter and long as you have your lead (doesn't matter how long you have been climbing, i literally mean a few weeks of lead climbing they will still hire you). Because of that I am truly SACRED someone will get hurt. Coaches standards are even lower than monitors as some coaches "DO NOT CLIMB" . Seriously some do not own climbing shoes??!?!? And they teach the recreational courses and somehow Altitude is ok with this. The turn over rate is so high that in the time i worked their it almost rotated 2 times, I was there for less than 8 months. So no staff means you will get random shifts you must do even if your not available and this happens all the time. No staff means being understaff a lot which makes they job harder and more stressful definitely not worth what they pay you. Most of the employees i worked with were great and thats why i stayed as long as i did, but if you truly expect to work at a climbing gym this is not the place. This is more of a skyzone, cosmic adventure, playground. No matter what you bring to the table you are disposable to management and as a climber i would stay away.

I worked for Altitude for over 2 years, full time for the first year. Management is incompetent and do not value their staff. I saw the staff turn over 3-4+ times in my time there. Owners do not care about the community or climbing and are just in this business to make money off birthday parties. The work involves lots of cleaning and working with children, but shifts can be fun if you have a good staff working with you. Which is not always the case since the quality staff are not retained due to mistreatment. After working hard for this company for over 2 years they terminated me without cause an hour before my shift, and through a very unprofessional private message on their scheduling app.

Worked there for more than four years. Only thing that kept me there was my passion for climbing. Management is very unprofessional with degrading and loud speeches (aka getting screamed at sometimes even ‘while off duty’)   An absolute lack of care and respect for its employees even the most faithful, felt more like an object than an employee . Considering that some of the management actually lives there the have no idea what is happening in the gym. Employees are not qualified and have very little training. Probably due to the insane turnover rate. Pay sucks considering everything you do with no improvement over the years. Absolutely no communication between floor staff and higher ups. you can climb for free at least

This is the absolute worst company I’ve ever worked for. The management is beyond incompetent, and don’t care about their employees (much less their customers) at all.
There is no company or workplace culture. The business is very poorly run, and there is no communication between staff and management. 
Let’s not forget that the work is gruelling (almost entirely cleaning) and unappreciated.
In order to advance in the company, they force you to pay out of pocket nearly $100 for a course that they offer.
The only “benefit” is free entry to the gym.

If you enjoy climbing at all, do not work here. They will exploit your passion and wring you dry.

I learned a lot about climbing while I worked there since they hired a professional coach/climber from another gym.

The floor staff are very friendly and you feel like a family with them, but the upper management makes you feel worthless.

You end up doing more cleaning than your actual job that you were hired to do, which is the opposite of what they tell you during your interview when they show you the tasks you will do on a typical day of work.

If you work there for too long, you literally loose you love for climbing because you are always there and you don't want to stay there a second more than you have to.

I wish I had never set foot in this place. Management is complete garbage. almost the ENTIRE staff turned over while I was there, so nobody is properly trained, and even then, theres nobody who is qualified. I'm seriously afraid that somebody will get severely injured climbing or working here because of how barebones the staff is. 
Theres a lot of cleaning, this should be advertized as a janitorial job rather than a climbing/safety one.

Very supportive and understanding managers that push you to work hard. They tell you what you need to work on but also make sure to congratulate you on the things you excel in. The days are long but with activities well planned out, they become long days of fun. Staff are very friendly and outgoing.

Staff super friendly, you get to climb for free however;
-you work with kids all the time and if you're not working with kids you're cleaning
-management doesn't care about you
-management doesn't care about their climbers (unless they are parents or kids)

I started working there at the start of January 2018. My supervisor was incompetent, I was more qualified for the job. One of the managers was an idiot. And they never properly let me go, they just stopped giving me shifts.

can be disorganized / confusing place to work
knowledge of french and English is better for staff while working here
fun, exciting and change of pace is always changing
