Pay is good, Management not so much.

Pros

You will definitely make good money if you’re at least in a supervisor role. Everyone and most of the students are so sweet. Food options are great. Lots of Events.

Cons

Unless you’re a manager working almost strictly in the office you’ll probably walk to your car with a slight limp after an almost 10 hour shift maybe more. Supervisors Pick favorites. If you have an issue don’t even bother with HR if your a regular employee (If you’re a person of color or a woman of color even more so]

Pros

After probation you have choice of what type of work to do.

Cons

Scheduling is awful, days off are usually separated and no weekends for many. Management is full of bad people who do not care about you whatsoever. You have to fight for every little thing with no initiative from managers.
