Pros

-Outdoor environment (Vitamin D!) -Fun interactions with guests -Great comradery amongst co-workers -Free admission into park -Perks, discounts, and you meet a lot of people -Fun to meet guests from different countries -Opportunities for career growth pop up as you work -Decent breaks during shifts -Pretty flexibly with hours

Cons

-Can get very hot -They only start you off with so many hours and you really have to make an effort to try to be the first one to cover for shifts. -Irate customers are common because of the competitive nature of the games environment. They are essentially paying money to try their bet at winning a giant stuffed toy. -LATE nights cleaning up after. Not so bad when you're with good people, though. -Not enough pay for how much you have to deal with guests

Pros

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

Cons

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.
