Pros

If you love guest services, its wonderful. I love all the people I meet everyday and getting to help them enjoy themselves. Very busy and lots to do.

Cons

Things change without thought to how the changes will effect the job, the guest or how we get to interact with them. Anything that goes wrong gets a knee jerk reaction.

Pros

Beautiful... fun... nice employee discounts...The only place I know where everyone is going to have fun... People are there to play and enjoy themselves, we get to help them have a blast. There are a wide variety of positions and it is easy to flex between one department and another to do a variety of things and make hours. Everyone there seems to be very good at working together to make the entire place successful and not just their own department

Cons

work days not always long enough to justify gas to drive in for work. The new uniforms and all going as far as pants. I buy mine at goodwill and they are the right colour. I prefer if we were to get small inceremental raises and more hours versus the company spending on in consquentials. Just my own opinion. It was sort of hard to find the downside, although I must say if I were looking for management and advancement of this nature I do not percieve where this really exists, but I am not looking for this....

Care and concerns of employee's, personal and work related.

Hour consistency, but they have to deal with a seasonal operation, so it is understood.
