Does Merlin Entertainments offer a monthly bonus?
Pros
Amazing sets Great people Good benefits (20 merlin tickets a year) Great shows
Cons
No flexibility 85p below London living rate Not valued 6 month contracts only 1 month notice, if you don't obey you get blacklisted for a year Some of the management are terrible
Advice to Management
Treat employees as employees rather than children. Don't pretend to care about them either unless you actually do, it's very fake. Also if you hire actor you need to expect some flexibility, you have actors that will stay at the dungeons forever however that isn't how a lot of actors work. I needed to leave the contract early and they didn't do anything to help me despite me trying to find some middle ground. Hardly ever listen to staff concerns. Forced to go to managers breakfast where we can ask questions, but unless it's a silly question or something fun it seems very judged One of the managers there is fantastic and you're lucky to have her and learn from her (from when I was there)
6 month contracts only
