VANCOUVER LAWN TENNIS AND BADMINTON CLUB

Cameras everywhere and managers all always watching you in their desk(literally). 0 rooms for flexible schedules.  Lots of students or families got let go as managers wouldn't let you switch your availabilities  for their school schedule or family stuff.  If you let them know that you can not work those schedules( even with well in advance notice) , either you lose hours or they will lay you go on the spot. On top of that  I saw a few people got injured at work and management cut their hours when the injured employees returned from injuries. 

  In day to day there are no clear directions, goals or team targets. No consistent or clear instructions. Be aware,your management tells you do something and later on they blame you when the club members senior management complain. I have worked in management in multiple businesses but boy I've never seen such a dramatic/toxic place to work. Also union is very weak or doesn't get involved  in very much. Sometimes you don't even know if they are there or not. No helps from the union when you get "discipline" or layoff. You are on your own 

Worked here for over two years. Wage was high because it is union but there are no tips. The hours are dependable and there are no late nights. 
When I worked there the staff was great, it was a really fun group. However, apart from the restaurant manager, management was terrible. They treated employees like it was 'us against them' and I never felt like I was valued or appreciated. The head chef refused to serve anything but fried food for staff meals even when there were salads and better foods available. He threw out the food instead.  
Also because it was union, there was no team work, one time when a coffee pot was overflowing, a woman from housekeeping came and told me about it. When I asked her if she had stopped it or put something to catch the coffee under the drip she replied that it wasn't her department. She literally left coffee pouring all over the floor.

Either working one on one or with pairs, we work to define individual goals and train in a capacity that fit with what people want to accomplish. I've learned to be very empathetic, patient and to be a good listener. These attributes are essential in building what are very personal relationships. My co-workers have also taught me a lot through their professionalism and various disciplines.
Management is amazing. Nothing but helpful, encouraging and very, very organized. The hardest part of the job, 6 am starts. I have had to learn to become a morning person. Best part of the job is that I'm essentially my own boss. I have a very nice work/life balance

Busy day from start to finish usually.
Limited policies and structure was in place however this did get better. 
I believe I learned that although everyone is working for the same company they all have their own agendas and no clear path of direction. Management has recently changed which I’m being told is for the better, however perviously very toxic due to the GM my way of the highway stance. 
Hardest part of the job is managing the GM and the ever needy entitled members.
Most enjoyable part of the day is the staff and limited members who are nice people.

My co workers are nice and fun to work with ,  but manager doesn’t know how to manage and makes work more harder and complicated . He likes to be bossing around  by calling a lot of times and he micro manage all the time.
He makes schedules very confusing and unorganized so you cannot make plans for yourself and loose your work life balance.  He will hire students but will not care about your schedule on your school. The hardest part of the job is carrying heavy furniture and the pay is really low.

There are a number of really nice staff members, so you will probably make some friends. But there are also noted racists and predators. Management will turn the other cheek when you get harassed. You will not be safe from predatory members. You will not be safe from potential hate crime. You will not be believed when you report harassment. Not a safe place for females, or people of color.

Toxic work environment, terrible management. Your typical day at work will be one of contention and dissention, everyone against everyone nobody cares. The managers only care about themselves, and will participate in work place harassment that is prevalent at the the club, including spreading rumors about you, lying, and other joyful things. Terrible place, everyone I worked with hated it.

Management doesn't care about the employees here. I cannot stress that enough! The members always come first and are never wrong even if they scream at or harass you. They won't stand up for employees, or punish anyone (staff or members) who breaks the rules. You cannot feel safe here. You will not feel safe here: especially for what they're paying.

The management team has really taken care of the staff!  Many changes have been made to improve culture and build the team.  The culture is very friendly with members and employees.  Professional, but casual environment.  Great hourly rate and management worked hard to have gratuities for staff.  I love coming to work and the people I work with!

Lack of direction from management. They were all over the place. Stressful due to the busyness but lack of staff to keep up. Just overall toxic environment. Some of the long time staff are so set in their ways and totally miserable. Overworked, underpaid. 2 stars for the good staff I've stayed in contact with.
