Enjoyable work environment with flexible shift options

Food and beverage

Pros

So far I love it here. I left another theme park ti come here. Yes hours can be hard, especially on slow days. But if you look and pick up shifts others do not want you can do okay.

Cons

The only thing I didn’t care for was that I was told that after I got hired that it would take 3 weeks for me to start getting hours. Thankfully that didn’t happen to me
