BREC — Attraction in Baton Rouge

Do not consider working for this company. The pay is awful and the amount of work they put on you doesn’t add up to the amount of money you’re paid. I worked for BREC for 4 years so here are some things you should know. At Highland Road the splash pad and sinks are connected to the sewage. There is 1 employee there that supposedly is in charge but he sleeps in his car his entire shift. You will see him if you go down the walking trail. Our tax money at work right? I worked full time at Highland Road Park getting paid $12 an hour but then I worked part time at Santa Maria Golf Course as a Cart Attendant getting paid $12 an hour. How does that even make sense?

MEAN COUNSELORS at ANTIOCH BREC PARK is a thing. the boys told me Tuesday of horrible stories that counselors being mean to kids.

my neighbor told me about a fb group that had been saying the same thing for the past 2 weeks regarding their children. children are made fun of until they cry, they had to write lines, and there is a list of bad kids that can't go swimming.

I called the main office and recieved a return call from one of the local supervisors. she told me these issues have been dealt with and she couldn't give me information on other children. apparently 3 other mothers from the fb group have called as well. NOTHINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED.

I feel that this is the only thing I can do to make the public aware. and a survey is not gonna do it.
