Such diverse employees, including people from abroad. -lower advancement is super easy to get, so long as you work efficiently and with a smile. -small scholarship opportunities
Cons
-company cuts corners most prominently in health codes and employer laws. -I was forced to operate rides with bare hands in vomit, as well as drink from an employee's mug to verify alcoholic content in the mug. -company does not provide benefits, overtime or holiday pay, or flexibility of hours. -Though employers can easily and within-the-law justify terminations are not due to discrimination, there is a lot of "in-between-the-lines" firings that read very clearly otherwise. I even had to terminate people that upper management didn't like for reasons they skewed towards something which was actually within the employee's job title (i.e.: employees "yelled" at guests to not jump the fence into the enclosure of the ride while the ride was in operation) -upper advancement is only due to social politics and not on merit. -witnessed harassment reports being shredded and thrown away instead of filed.
