The Keller Pointe was my first job that I loved at...

The Keller Pointe was my first job that I loved at first and taught me great responsibility. At one time it was an enjoyable place to work but as management has changed, this workplace has continuously declined. As a former headguard, WSI and lifeguard I know the inter-workings of this establishment. There have been concerning instances that have happened to me personally, from hostile comments from management to rules being altered for certain employees (during the 4:45am shift the female guards were told that we must complete a certain amount of cleaning duties before we were allowed to sit down and guard the lap lane swimmers while male guards repeatedly did not follow this rule with no consequences). While there was unfairness over my years here it was not enough to make me quit and leave the work family that I loved. It wasn t until a situation in which I was headguard getting ice from the kitchen for one of my guards when a male custodian who was also in the kitchen closed the door and attempted to grab my arms and kiss me. My managers were not at TKP anymore because it happened after 4:00pm, which is when they leave for the day. I went to one of the managers from the front desk who I felt respected me much more than the aquatics managers and she was very nice and helped me take the steps necessary for what happened. At my next shift, the aquatics management called me into their office and chastised me for going to the front desk manager and questioned the situation even happening at all. I was then told well you re leaving for college in a week anyways so it doesn t matter, from my manager and that nothing else was going to be done. That was completely unacceptable behavior and after coming in on my day off with my dad to talk to the owner of TKP we learned that this was not true and that the facility was doing everything they could to get to the bottom of the situation. Due to this I never returned to work here and hope that all female lifeguards take precaution here, especially if traveling throughout the facility by themselves.
