Pros

Great pay which is 10.70.

Cons

Union takes about 50 dollars every month. Too much favoritism going on with the managers and leads.

Pros

They can be flexible with your hours even during the summer. The perks were pretty nice. Free access to the park and two free tickets for family or friends. Every once in a while they would have food trucks or some kind of freebies for employees. Another nice thing was that you would be assigned a mentor. They would help to make sure that you were comfortable working and would help you out if you wanted to move to another position in the park.

Cons

The management in my department (Admissions) was neglectful at times, forgetting to give us breaks and meal periods.

Pros

Most everyone is enthusiastic hard working and easy to get along with. Especially if you need to make a shift change for any reason, school, dr. appt., etc. You get credits and free admissions to the park that accumulate with your employment.

Cons

As a Seasonal employee, as most are, shifts can range at all hours and then change when you get there. You receive no benefits other than some free tickets to get into the park to spend your money. Employees are normally not allowed to get 8 hours in a day unless they are short-handed, which makes it very exhausting and hectic. Also I was scheduled for a 4am shift, drove the 45 minutes thru toll roads ($16 it cost me in gas and tolls) to get there and was told they didn't need me.
