Pros

Energetic work environment Free tickets for friends and family Free employee previews to new restaurants and attractions

Cons

Working HR at the Hollywood theme park has been a nightmare. Instead of managing employees, you are babysitting juveniles on behaving with common sense. There are too many strict, totalitarian policies like point deductions for minor infractions prevents employees from doing their jobs effectively. There is a lack of engagement from senior management who shuns progressive HR ideas in favor of out-dated bureaucratic processes. I don't just speak for myself when over half of the HR staff has turned over in the past 2 years for those same reasons and will continue to do so until management improves the culture.

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.
