Universal Studios Ride Operator reviews

You're working with so many other young people so there's bound to be drama. My entire time working there everyone was involved in drama and sometimes even management would contribute to it. Management clearly has favorites and they expect way too much of you for so little pay. The team lead are also all young and can be extremely unprofessional. Also, guests can be extremely rude and you'll be dealing with all sorts of scenarios.

- scheduling by seniority sucks and it can be impossible to rise up in the seniority ranks when you literally never get scheduled outside of peak hours (summer, HHN, maybe like 2 days over Christmas) - so you won't get scheduled for weeks or months at a time but then they'll like suddenly put you on the schedule one time and you'll have to drop everything to make it or risk getting an attendance reprimand - you have to pay for HHN tickets - also working HHN suuuucks everyone is drunk and rowdy - you have to work corporate NBC parties which is gross and unfair in my opinion - comped tickets for friends and families take a while to accrue (2 your 1st year, 4 your second year, 16 after that) and discounted ticket prices are only okay - no room for growth or promotions - HR is useless. I left my HR person several voicemails about an issue I was having and they never called me back. - they literally sent out a memo that said drug tests were optional and then a couple months later started firing employees for not consenting to supposedly optional drug tests (5 people got fired from a single attraction in one month for almost identical scenarios like this). - a lot of people get fired for really dumb, trivial reasons. It seems like after the peak season is over, they look for reasons to purge the long lists of employees so that there are more hours to go around.
