No promise of regular work hours

Former – New

Pros – We were allowed a lunch allowance for each work shift.

Cons – I worked outside at the pool concesssions, so my job was always based on the weather. If the weather was bad or there weren't a lot of people at the pool, I was told not to come to work. If I was already at work, and it wasn't busy, then those who had worked there in past summers were allowed to stay, and I was forced to go home. I maybe worked a total of 40 hours that summer because I was constantly getting the shaft when it came to working shifts.
