Business Outlook

Pros

Meeting new people, discounts at venues, making extra cash. Pick up as many shifts and rack up as much cash as you can during the "on" season while actively searching for other jobs to have by the time the "off" season comes.

Cons

Not enough money for a full-time job. Work is seasonal and employees can be sent home at any time due to lack of traffic. Those who might stay will be overwhelmed if traffic suddenly picks up. No one cares about you.

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly assistant managers, great pay, great hours

Cons

Manager yelled at employees in front of guest and visitors, horrible uniforms. make you pay for your background check, pee test, and uniform so its 10$ coming out of 7 paychecks and they let you know last minute. Managers are very rude to customers who doesn't want to buy the 20$ photo packages. If you can't take 20 photos within an hour they fire you, doesn't matter how much of a good worker you are.
