Best thing
Seeing people gain confidence when climbing
Worst thing
During quiet times it can be quite boring as you are just walking around
Clip N Climb Employee, June 2024
-
Best thing
free climbing
Worst thing
everything.
long hours - 10 to 11 hour shifts
always on your feet and the only time you get to rest is when you are on your break.
toxic staff
staff aren't seen as people but as money making slaves
supervisors aren't helpful and don't care about mental health or issues you may have
never get a thank you for the work you do and there is alot of work...
the safety of children is in the staffs hands along side with all the cleaning.
when you do all of this it's only staff and never management or supervisors.
