Pros

Nothing after how I've seen others treated

Cons

Lots of high school politics and unfair treatment of workers by middle management. If someone lies about someone the lies will always be believed. Hard workers are penalized by narrow-minded gossip and outright lies to get others fired.

Pros

An awesome environment to work in. It was a joy coming to work everyday. There were interesting benefits like free park passes for yourself and friends. Also, you get free attendance to many of the other attraction in town. Most coworkers are nice and friendly. Supervisors were great. The employee cafeteria serves great food at a really fair price.

Cons

The pay is low (minimum wage) and I was never allowed to get overtime. It gets really hot and humid during the summer and some jobs have you outside all day.
