City of London Parks and Recreation

Pick up garbage outside, change garbages, clean washrooms, set up for an event, check washrooms/garbages regularly. If time, do additional cleaning ie windows, vacuuming etc. 
The most difficult part of the job is when staff prior to my shift do not do their job. If there is a reason, I am always more than accommodating but when they are just lazy it makes my job difficult.
The most enjoyable is some of the great staff that I get to work with and I truly enjoy my job.  I enjoy cleaning and making things look great.  I also enjoy the clients booking the facilities.  Very friendly.  Shifts go by fast when you work well together.
Unfortunately not much support from management and little to zero accountability when staff members are not showing up, cancelling last minute, or simply not doing their job.

Job has good pay. Job culture expects you to earn your spot, which is fine until you run into certain supervisors who don't like you. Then it is impossible to advance, regardless of how hard you work. Hardest part of the job, personally was finding middle ground between contrasting instructions from superiors and managing relationships with unqualified, unreasonable management staff. 

The management could be a bit more organized, but overall I really enjoyed working there for two summers. My coworkers were very inviting and accepting. I always looked forward to show up for my shifts and always had amazing days while working there.

This is a very fast paced environment, and there are not very many days where everything goes smoothly.  The interview process is way too complicated and the training for the job is also a lot.  If you enjoy working with kids then do it, if you are just looking for a full time job, look elsewhere.

If you live near a community centre it may be helpful to work with the programs during the school year but programs get cut a lot! Kinda hard to make money when you have a maximum of 3.5 hours. The staff is otherwise super friendly and great to work with.

City of London (depending on department) is the place to work if you're looking for decent pay, work life balance, job security, union, and benefits. There's always something to be doing, and most of management is extremely supportive with whatever concerns or questions you might have

Worked at the city for nearly two years. The people are great but customers can be troublesome at times. Work load is decent but sometimes can be somewhat significant if people aren't doing there job. Overall recommend

Overall, Storybook Gardens is a highly respectable workplace as it offers many different positions to satisfy a wide range of interests and opportunities for growth.
