Pros

Everyone hooks up with everyone including managers with hourly employees. If this was my first job in or straight out of high school it would be great; for someone looking for a career not so much.

Cons

Favoritism, poor scheduling design, extremely loose hiring guidelines, management is a joke and is completely out of touch. Long hours in all weather. Extremely limited opportunities for advancement, discouraged on a daily basis. The union is trash, the company is trash, the movies are trash. Don't waste your time here you are worth more than this. Additionally tell me why we have about 13 managers?? Is this Office Space or something? Truly the worst theme park in so cal, its just a con for unsuspecting tourists. The fact that none of our attractions (JP not including) are based on actual Universal IPs is extremely telling.

Pros

They are very helpful when it comes to your growth in the company. Benefits are good and pay is decent! Also why weekly pay and you can come in for hours if needed

Cons

Shifts can be short at least at my venue. The longest shift you’ll have is 8hrs, minus your lunch about 7.25 hrs. Sometimes you get shifts of 5hrs. Part timers don’t really get much benefits besides health and park tickets. No pto , no bereavement etc.
