Vantaggi
The breaks were amazing at Universal. I worked on The Mummy ride and it was pretty fun at times. Then it got repetitive and boring. It was a really easy job, but the commute to Studio City was difficult. I ended up quitting so I could move to Florida and seek better employment. This was right when minimum wage went up to $12 in California. :|
Svantaggi
The coworkers were really clique-y. I didn't really feel like I fit in with anyone but the crowd I went through training with. This seems to be common in theme parks. The job also got to become really easy to auto-pilot through. I don't feel comfortable giving less fooks (pardon the French) about my job just because I'm working peak hours. It becomes easy to have a bad day and affect your performance just because you don't really get time away to yourself to chop up onions on a cutting board or something of that nature. A very people-oriented job and maybe it was my lack of abililty to cope with the stress of having to deal with thousands of people a day. You also get sick a lot (especially if you commute through the Metrolink or Metro Rail).
