      Pros

      Free Uniform - Bonus if we hit target - great discount for family and friends - of course you get to wear Levis

      Cons

      Sometimes a late finish would mean leaving at 10:30 and 11:30 around Christmas - have to work Saturdays and Sundays

      Advice to Management

      Help the full timers out a bit more, park timers should work weekends
