Pros

Flexibility in allowing Summer (seasonal) employees to work but still have the opportunity to take a little vacation, especially if they have children.

Cons

The upper level supervisors do not take what we, as a staff, recommend about the program to change or allow the children to have more fun.

Pros

It's not a bad place to work for as a whole. It depends on which department you are employed with.

Cons

Lack of ability to move up. Those making decisions tend to forget about the little people. The board of supervisors is just a mess.
