Pros

The pay is great for an hourly job, and you will get plenty of hours during peak season. If you work food service (carts and restaurants), you get vouchers that can be redeemed at any front or back of house restaurant. You get to meet a lot of awesome co-workers, make new friends, and network. Great benefits too!

Cons

Management is a bit shady and will do anything to get avoid paying out a raise. Promotions are based on nepotism, not hard work. Union dues are $48.50 for all food service workers covered by Unite Here Local 11. It's money down the drain because the union is worthless. You get free food, but the food here is terrible and sends you straight to the toilet. Working conditions can be horrible. Although most of your co-workers will be awesome, there are still a few who are stuck in high school and love to gossip, spread rumors, and stir up all kinds of trouble. If you're co-workers don't get to you, the guests sure will. Most of them are rude foreigners who don't speak English.

Pros

Fantastic Benefits, flexible schedule, and can be a fun atmosphere when the day is right. Job is physically easy and depending on the venue, great coworkers.

Cons

Management's don't care about team members. Impossible to developed unless you personally know the hiring manger. While most guest are kind and keep to themselves, the rude guest do not have a problem disrespecting you and getting away with it.
