Enjoyed working a LA Fitness. Be mindful, based on the hours scheduled it can cost plenty of money to get there if your on public transportation
Brandie and Kirk motivated me in the best ways to get my operators certification, in which I do possess NOW.

High Sierra Pools is the WORST pool company ever I lifegaurded with them for 2 years, it s 12 hours in the sun with minimum breaks, sometimes no breaks at all. They do not care about your well being. 100% Do NOT recommend working with them. Also they treat the exchange students horrible with horribl...

I started working on this summer. I think it good experience for me. This company is very high quality and I'm so lucky because my supervisor is Konstantin and my manager is Zuzana. They are very kind and so cute. They are support me for everything.

This company took over pool management of my apartment complex. They are the worst! While the "lifeguards" are nice, they're super lazy. Water quality should be checked once a hour, I've seen one guard do regular checks. Otherwise they're either in the guard chair on the phone or sitting wayyy in th...

Today our pool in Gaithersburg Maryland is officially closing. I feel I should take the time to praise an exceptional young man in your employ. Javon, the head lifeguard has been such a pleasure for all of us in this community. He's so hard working, even in typical Washington weather, very hot an...

Well, I started working this year. Reading most of the reviews are true. They slave you to work, and pay you very little. As well with so many more international lifeguards more then Americans. Working is fun with them, but they have to ATLEAST boost their pay by $3

At High Sierra, I was employed in the summer of 2017 as a lifeguard in Virginia. The work was simple, sometimes boring. But what we can expect from a lifeguard is paying attention to people who are in the pool and around it. But the travel we went after work was much more interesting.

You can receive this "5 stars" only in your dreams and maybe by office employees just to make a situation better here. 1 star because I can't give you 0. International employees are not your slaves you disrespectful greedy people!

The worst employer, unable to help, unable to oblige, the most incompetent people i've ever had to work with, especially supervisor. HSP just want young people to work for them and take the most money they can have from them. And many more terrible things. I personally highly DON'T recommend this co...

I speak so highly of this company to only be thrown away like concert trash. I lie to you not, the company is awesome. However, if it comes down to protecting your guard, the contract will out weigh you the guards. Money can be made with ease, long as you down for putting in the hours. HSP is a grea...

Montebello has used this service for years and as aresident I wonder why they continue to renew their contract. The guards often don't show or High Sierra pulls the guards when there is inclement weather. I continue to ask our management if we are reimbursed for the guards but sadly-no response.

They treat their employees like trash, and do not communicate well with them either. The guards themselves will do fantastic jobs often enough, but the company is taking advantage of young highschools to turn an easy profit, while often cheating the highschools, or verbally abusing them.

Each of our residents pay 50 so that our small pool can be available to us. When I and two other residents were trying to swim in the pool, three noisy young men with long black hair spread out thru the whole pool throwing a soccer ball..

It was a good lifeguard experience to work for company like High Sierra Pools. If you're responsible and doing your job well, they will treat you well. As far as I know, they are the only pool company that pays for overtimes to international lifeguards and trust me, it's a good money. If you are int...
