Pros

This is a union based job. If you work for food and get to be full time, the health benefits are truly stellar and top notch.

Cons

Just terrible. The management culture is the worst. Managers are basically hired in a who can kiss butt better basis. I work for a licensed entity with in the park, and we need special training to work here. One of our supervisors has no training within our entity, and is absolutely no help, it is great at taking the credit for the leads work to make herself look good. HR is terrible at handling complaints about managers because food managers and food HR reps are like best friends. Complaint after complaint has been buried. When seasonal supervisor positions open up, they’re basically given to who can kiss butt the best. Several good workers that I’ve known have been basically told by my manager that she’s turning down their application for frivolous reasons, instead of encouraging them towards it Sexual harassment is not taken seriously by HR. A girl had a fellow team member stalk her, and all they did was stop scheduling her, and he was kept on. After 2 other women complained, he was transferred out of the venue, but was still on the job.

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.
