Pros

The Wizarding World Helping guests Free admission Maybe a good first job? 35% discount (but doesn’t matter if you’re not making any money)

Cons

- Low pay - minimum wage (not even close to a living wage) and Universal can definitely afford to pay people more. - You need to arrive an hour early to work just to clock in on time and it’s unpaid - Parking is too far away from where you actually need to go, by the time you get to work you’re already sweating - Management isn’t very helpful - Super strict with clocking in the exact minute and a warning system that sounds like it’s made for toddlers - Newer people are expected to do above and beyond when most employees don’t - high turnover of employees - New employees need to work at multiple different stores when training so you never can get comfortable in any of the shops - Feels like high school

Pros

They are very helpful when it comes to your growth in the company. Benefits are good and pay is decent! Also why weekly pay and you can come in for hours if needed

Cons

Shifts can be short at least at my venue. The longest shift you’ll have is 8hrs, minus your lunch about 7.25 hrs. Sometimes you get shifts of 5hrs. Part timers don’t really get much benefits besides health and park tickets. No pto , no bereavement etc.
