Pros

Pretty easy job. Members will sometimes chat to you.

Cons

Most boring job in the world. Lack of investment to regional clubs. Around 15+ hours of online, unnecessary training required to do at home, plus a compulsory 'Welcome to VA Day' at the head office before you start working there, all a huge waste of time. Salary wasn't great. Did not get paid for lifeguard training.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we really appreciate the feedback. Could I please advise that you contact our People Team on peoplehub@virginactive.co.uk regarding the training as it is not at all advised that you're training outside of work hours and at home, and lifeguard training should be paid for. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention, Jessica
