      Pros

      Good for insurance and for those who like free park tickets quarterly. Its just a shame they seem to black them out 9 months out of 12.

      Cons

      Worked there for 2 years as a tech. Top talent review, no write-ups, and had positive observation reports. Applied for a better position within the company that I was already doing as a fill-in, and watched them hire someone less-qualified from the outside and wanted me to train them. I put in a 2 weeks notice, and was shown the door the next day. Don't waste your time working there .

      Pros

      Great benefits, plenty of hours, the company treats their employees really well.

      Cons

      Some drama in offices (not too big of a deal but I had to write something)

      A breeding ground for incompetence and favoritism.

      Pros

      Few, if any. Met a few close friends there, all of which left the company well before I did, as they realized (like I did) almost instantly that this is the epitome of a carnie job; people who are intelligent aren't welcome or wanted there. The perks really aren't anything to brag about either, as they're actually worse than Disney's.

      Cons

      Managers hold grudges and are incredibly vindictive: if you even so much as have an opinion that differs from theirs, be prepared to get reprimanded, transferred, or even fired after they conjure up a story that is 100% without any sort of merit whatsoever. If you suck up to the right people, you get promoted, even though it's specifically stated in their employee handbook that favoritism is *extremely* looked down upon. Supervisors even go so far as sending pictures via snapchat that are a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen. The atmosphere is beyond unprofessional, and it all starts from the top.
