Pros

- Decent pay - Plenty of room to move around if you dont like your current position - Stock program after 1 year of employment - 401k - Health Insurance - Employee feedback - Group huddles

Cons

- Long hours sometimes very long hours (Shifts can range from a 6hr shift to a 12hr shift depending on speed of your team. - Management doesnt get involved. They appear to be involved but do not actually implement employee ideas - Hard work for decent pay. Plenty of other jobs that offer higher pay with less work. "Work smarter not harder" - They pride themseleves in safety however use dated equipment. A lot of the equipment doesnt even function properly to the point where I was nervous to use a couple of the rides.
