Vantaggi

It's a lot of fun to work here; you meet a lot of interesting people, your coworkers are usually fun and energetic, and the pay rate is pretty good. Perks are nice, since you get discounts in the park and on Citywalk, plus you can attend movie screenings and get discounted movie tickets. You are also a part of a union, so despite the union dues, you do get good perks from them. The hours are very flexible so you have time to do other things in your free time like school or another job. There is also growth potential after about a year of working here. The company is also pretty lenient with attendance; they don't automatically fire you after being late a few times, but rather they use a point system where accumulating points from calling off or being late determines disciplinary action. A separate point system is used for cash handling, and this is also pretty lenient. And, a plus for some, there is no drug test screening before hiring and the company doesn't really care what you do outside of work as long as it doesn't affect them or your performance on the clock.

Svantaggi

The worst part about this job is the hours; you have no guarantee for hours so during the off-season you can go weeks without hours in your first few months of work. After about a year, you start to get offered more hours, but it takes about two years before your seniority kicks in and you don't have to worry about it as much anymore. A lack of hours means obviously not as much pay but it could also affect your benefits; there is a minimum number of hours that need to be worked to remain covered and with no hour guarantee this can be hard to manage. You can call in to try to pick up a shift but this is first come first serve (not seniority) based and not as reliable, especially if you live further away since it is very last minute.

Vantaggi

Free park access if that’s what you or your family like to do regularly.

Svantaggi

Very large and slow moving organization that has an odd promotion/performance review process. This is a place where people come to work 9-5, take hour lunches, and place the corporate process of staying 10+ years hoping for a promotion opportunity and not work hard.
