Kids Team Member

May 2021 • White Bear Lake, MN

What I liked

Building relationships with the kids was incredibly impactful.

What I wish was different

The management was some of the worst I've ever seen. Many job responsibilities and liabilities for very little pay as well.

Advice

Childcare is a severely underpaid area. Make sure you are being treated as you deserve.

Organizational Development Intern

May 2024 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I love that people here truly take the mission of Life Time seriously. Everyone is focused on helping others and themselves stay healthy and happy. This role gave me a vast amount of opportunities for growth and experience within the Human Capital.

What I wish was different

I think what could have also been valuable is if there was intern training that was broken up into 2 days instead of just one day.

Advice

A piece of advice I would share is to make the most of this opportunity. Give your all, and even when you don't always know the outcome, it will all work out.

Preconstruction Intern

June 2023 • Chanhassen, MN

What I liked

I have loved the culture of Life Time, as well as the work that they had me doing as an Intern they taught me what to do in a very low stress environment to prepare me for the work I would be doing later in the summer

What I wish was different

I wish I could have started earlier since I got out of school in early May and they didn't let the interns start until June so I had a lot of downtime before I started and it seemed like it has gone by really fast since then

Advice

Ask questions and try to learn as much as you can because they are so friendly and willing to help

Camp Counselor

May - August 2019 • Sugar Land, TX

What I liked

I really enjoyed working with children and improving my teamwork skills. I realized that part of working with children is learning from them everyday- a set schedule never oes as planned so being open to flexibility and being authentic really makes each day successful.

What I wish was different

I wish that friendships were fostered more while on the job so that even after we stop working together, reaching out to my coworkers would feel more natural.

Advice

Children are a lot. Come in with an open mind and be ready to release your inner child. Being patient is really important and also make this an experience that you would've wanted to have as a child.

Lifeguard

June - August 2019 • Vestavia Hills, AL

What I liked

The people I worked with were nice and laidback for the most part. Most guards were high school or college aged. You get tan and can get in the pool.

What I wish was different

We were constantly understaffed, and the pay is much lower than what I'd expect given the amount of work I had to do. There is no cleaning staff for the aquatics department, so guards are made to clean everything, including the pool. Guards were expected to work even during safety breaks, which kind of defeats the purpose of the safety break.

Advice

Wear lots of sunscreen and hydrate often. Make sure you rest on safety breaks. The heat can cause exhaustion very quickly, and the managing staff didn't seem to take that into account until someone passed out.
