A LOT of work and very little appreciation - Summer Camp Director Galileo Learning Employee Review

The pay - Camp Directors and all other staff are extremely underpaid. For example, camp directors are paid a weekly salary, but the number of hours you're expected to work easily surpasses full time (40 hours). I was lucky if i worked less than 50-55 hours a week yet still only got paid my weekly salary. The management -Despite having months of training and working two summers with Galileo, my managers were often conflicting each other and often gave me positive feedback and suggestions to improve were minimal until AFTER camp ended the second summer that I worked there, that was the only time they gave me significant negative feedback and didn't want me to return for a third summer. The staff - Almost every day, I had at least 1 staff member call off of work or just no show/no call. I also had staff unexpectedly quit with no notice. There were many days where I had multiple staff members not show up for work, and there weren't enough subs, so I had to step into multiple roles with no additional pay or support. HR - Galileo hired returning staff members who were not recommended to hire based on their previous summers that they worked, but Galileo is more focused on hiring as many people as possible rather than quality people. HR set me up for failure, since these returning staff members had to have their roles downgraded just to keep the campers and parents happy.
