Pros

- The work is fun (for the first 2 hours at least) - Free admission to seaworld parks and Universal is nice

Cons

Where do I begin... - You're thrown in with little instruction or training - Park is severely understaffed and clearly losing money - Stage management is incompetent and complacent to inappropriate guest behavior, which ranges from teenaged stupidity to borderline dangerous - The employee cafeteria is a joke. Closes early, doesn't have any options, especially for vegetarians - Upper management makes big changes like cutting all employee hours without much prior notice - The shift rotations are brutal. 2 one-hour blocks of constant performing with 20 minutes rest inbetween is grueling. - Safety is not priority. Security officers don't take threats seriously and WILL tell you to confront guests yourself - You can't get a hold of anyone. The person they tell you to email to request days off doesn't respond. Upper management brushes you off when you ask about other career opportunities. It's clear departments don't communicate with eachother
