Cool First Job But...

Pros

Very cool co-workers, sometimes they move you to a different stand to work in, little summer parties, most of the managers were cool. I have made lifelong friends at this job that made working there much less boring. Free admission to the park on your off days and 50% off food as well

Cons

Co-workers are treated as second class citizens sometimes, management changes at a dime, very low pay for the amount of work you're doing, if someone gets in trouble, all the staff serves the consequence. (At one point you couldn't bring a purse with you into the park) Also the lunch cards. They took $4.00 off your check every day to pay for their food you buy for a lunch break. You might ask, "Can I just bring my own lunch so they don't take it out of my check" Nope. Whether you eat their (less than mediocre) food or not, they will take money out of your check for it. You don't get paid enough as it is, so I just think that is ridiculous.

Pros

Plenty of hours available. You're rarely doing the same thing from one day to the next, so the job is always interesting. Management are generally good people. Because I was hired late in the season and they were desperate for help, I (and others hired at the same time as me) was hired at a slightly higher-than-minimum wage- most non-management people start at minimum. Surprisingly, I was even able to put in a decent amount of overtime.

Cons

The hours were available because they were woefully understaffed; this is also the reason I never did the same thing day to day. Overtime was available because you can give seasonal workers overtime without benefits, unlike non-seasonal workers.

Pros

The pros of this company are that they look out for their employees and ensure the happiness and effectiveness while in the workplace

Cons

Work can be sometimes exhausting and dull, some equipment could be updated for safety and cleanliness issues, and some upper level management could be groomed more professionally
