Superior Pool, Spa & Leisure Ltd

While I don't know if it has changed since my time there (Summer 2016), Superior Pool was a very unpleasant place to work for. While my coworkers and direct superior were all quite enjoyable, the organization and higher management were an utter nightmare. We lacked basic safety equipment such as particle masks (while working with granulated chlorine daily), schedules were horrible (we had a half-hour break in the midday where we had to both eat and add any needed chemical to the pool, sometimes giving you only ten minutes to actually eat, if that), going to the bathroom was next to impossible as there was no other lifeguard who could cover you. (for a shift that was eight and a half hours long with only one break)

We lost our manager's assistant and any vans we were supposed to have, and it ended with lifeguards having to transport chemicals in the backs of their own cars on their days off to attempt to supply the pools with something, although even so we regularly lacked chlorine and other needed chemicals - and we didn't even get uniforms as we were initially promised. Between the stresses of dealing with pool systems that were breaking down at the location I worked, the meager salary and the outrageous conditions, I don't think I could ever recommend someone work here - though they apparently cut any operations in my city, so it's a moot point regardless.

I've heard of Superior pools through a friend and decided to apply for the job. The interview process was simple and casual and quickly done. Superior did offer free recertifications for lifeguards that needed to update their qualifications, which was nice. The staff were trying their best to keep organized and put everything in place; however, a lot of the times the process seemed rushed. However, my placement was pretty good and easy going. The only complaint I have about this company is that management should be more organized and pay schedules should be more on time.

Good decent amount of hours and can be adjusted and is flexible. Can always request for more shifts/hours if you call in. Holds social events midway through the summer months. Really chill job and great place to work and get in hours if you are a certified lifeguard and am not sure about what you want to do if you are starting an entry level job. Staff and management is also very chill and friendly.

Management is not pro active and forces you to work when you are not scheduled. The pools are dirty and the people you work for are rude. The supervisors are never around to help you solve problems. The pay is extremely little and often your pay is wrong and not deposited into your bank account properly. When you mention this they take weeks to figure it out and you may not even get your money. This company does not look out for you at all.

Employees tended to take advantage of no one on site supervising. CEO had anger management issues although I never had an incident with him. He definitely knows the industry, but lacked dependable, knowledgeable managers. 

  Overall I enjoyed working for them but Toronto traffic drove me nuts.

Relax working environments , summers outdoors pools have more people and reach full capacity , winter indoor pools are less busy and only a few people use it at one time . Took care of all the pool procedures, chemical checks , chemical adjustments , cleanliness of pool  , life guarded , security ID checks on patrons .

A typical day at work: 11h00 to 8h00 
What you learned:  a lot 
Management: alone all day, routine, responsability etc
My co-workers: closer pool with other co-workers, good Relationship and help 
The hardest part of the job: weather
The most enjoyable part of the job: outside, people and schedule

Depending on the pools you're stationed at, it is for the most part a relaxing job. For entry level lifeguards, I recommend going to a community centre, you can get paid more and work with other lifeguards. Much more enjoyable time there, and the management will take care of you much better.

On average the work was 8 hours a day. One of the daily tasks was pool maintenance. Supervise the tenants present within the pool area. Enforce the pool rules to be followed.

You know it’s pretty bad when you are explaining how things work to your manager. The pay was decent but having 5-10 calls per day and no work life balance. no overtime. Very unprofessional and unorganized team.
