Great place for people of all ages.
Aquatic/ Physical Education/Day Camp Director (Former Employee), Reading, PA – August 30, 2012
Pros: great hours, terrific members
Cons: pool area felt like a cave, no real room for advancement.
Because I had 3 jobs (responsibilities) I was very busy. I planned and taught both aquatic classes and Physical Education classes. I also supervised the fitness and weight room, helping members with their workouts and machines. While not teaching I was planning new programs, planning events for the summer day camp and constantly evaluating current staff – more... and programs. My co-workers and employees were fantastic and worked extremely hard. The hardest part of the job was juggling 3 positions at once. The most enjoyable part was working with and getting to know our members and students. – less

Overall Rating
Gesher Teacher (Current Employee), Brighton NY – May 23, 2012
Pros: free membership
Cons: pay
6 out of 10.

Working at the company has it challenges like many other places. When I visit a company I try to make a decision with in the first 6 months if I can make it a career or not. I feel at certain departments you can make career out of it but everything is based on motivation and hiring the right people for the people.

Rewarding, Involving, Satisfying, Meaningful
Membership, Communications & Volunteers (Former Employee), Stamford, CT – April 10, 2012
Pros: free membership, opportunity to expand my creativity, interaction with creative and caring people.
Cons: very long hours, working with limited budgets.
Working for a non-profit community service agency is all about relationships - with the membership, the lay leadership, the community. I learned how to deal effectively with the community at large, as well as the professional and administrative staff.

A typical day at work included setting goals, short and long term, followed by implementation. Planning – more... volunteer recruitment programs and activities to attract new members as well as retaining current members, planning fundraising projects with lay committees, preparing publicity both internal and community wide were part of my daily and weekly activities.

Overseeing the committees that carried out the planned programs was a major part of my position. Interacting with management and co-workers was part of each day. Working for a not for profit agency takes exceptional dedication to the mission of that agency and the interaction with both staff and lay leadership who have that dedication is probably the most satisfying and enjoyable part of the job. – less
