Chessington World Of Adventures Reviews

Pros

A fun, unique place to work with amazing animals and great staff.

Cons

No major cons, salaries could be higher, especially as it’s located so close to London and local living costs are high.

Pros

No day is ever the same, free tickets

Cons

Management Structure, lack of investment.

Pros

offers on products and free tickets

Cons

less pay compared to work you do

Pros

none, not worth it at all

Cons

Staff in management are completely fake, unfair and sit on their backsides eating all day while they boss the others around. Your progress is assessed on the type of person you are and whether they like you but not assessed on how well you do the job. Staff will accuse you for wrong doings. Don't pay enough for the amount of work they expect you to do. Guests are constantly complaining because of the staff...

Advice to Management

Have the team be replaced by better people.

Pros

- As a seasonal employee, you will get free passes to all Merlin attractions in the world. - Very flexible hours. - Team events outside of work are great for socialisation.

Cons

- Pay is significantly lower than what you should be getting for the amount of work you do. - You will not get paid properly, and management will refuse to help you. - Management are not accommodating and will discriminate against your mental health needs. - A complete disregard for health and safety laws, staff welfare and health. - Customers can be physically abusive without consequence.

Advice to Management

Listen to what your staff say, and actually go about making a change as many people are unhappy. Treat them as humans.

Pros

Social life Progression Experience Customer experince gained

Cons

Pay is not the best

Advice to Management

Increase pay

Pros

Good flexiblity with student life and work

Cons

Rude management and the pay is too low for the work that you do

Pros

- flexible working hours - make great friends - perks are good (free tickets, sometimes free food) - incentives across park are pretty cool

Cons

- progress to higher positions will be based upon if the management like you and not based on if you're actually good at your job - lots of 15/16 year old kids who aren't trained properly (managements fault, not the kids!) - you're expected to dedicate your life to Merlin Entertainments, they don't care about you. - its a good starter job, but once you're over 18 the hours get tiring and you feel very stagnant.

Advice to Management

-better pay -focus on the experience you're offering to guests, not saving money.

Pros

Great place to work Very different place

Cons

Long hours Have to work in all weather conditions

Pros

Free tickets to merlin attractions after 6 weeks

Cons

Poor management when it comes to training Takes a long time to progress to work on the till and newcomers are always sent to clean out bins and restaurant tables only. Hours are not confirmed during the day and managers dismiss you whenever they want so especially when you pay to travel into work its not worth the travel fare as they dismiss you.
