Best thing
At my centre the managers are very understanding and friendly. They are quick to get around to sorting major issues out if they arise. The poolside team are also very easy to get along with which makes shifts go by quickly
Worst thing
I spend a lot of time as the only lifeguard on duty. Which means getting fresh air and completing tasks can be hard. Also the high volume levels concern me for my own hearing and that of my colleagues.

Worst thing
That we get taken for granted. Are not given our contracted hours. And sometimes not paid for overtime
David Lloyd Bar staff, October 2022
-
Best thing
Free membership equivalent to a diamond package (access to any DL club in the world) huge attention to you seeing the club through the members eyes.
A real aim to promote you from your joining role and ability to be trained on any department in the club you wish.Worst thing
Very hot on the indoor pool with very little ventilation leaving you covered in sweat within an hour of being on poolside.
A higher member of in club management is not very friendly and is hated by all lower staff members.David Lloyd Lifeguard, August 2022

Best thing
The benefits- free full membership to all DL gyms. The people i work with, mostly students similar to me and i can get along with everyone, manager makes sure i know what im doing and is really helpful. Best job i’ve had so far
Worst thing
The physical labour takes a lot of getting used to as im always moving around, ordering food on handhelds for customers and serving it, can be challenging in peak times when there is a lot to remember. But as someone who is not used to this amount of work it makes sense that i find it tiring, i am slowly adjusting to it all.
