Pros

None. There are no pros.

Cons

Low wages. No communication, and a frustrating double standard. You are punished for lack of notice in things, but they can edit, change, extend, or add shifts with less than 6 hours' notice. Then they punish you for not working them. Part-time workers forced to work full-time, or they threaten you. Lack of safety and basic human needs (water, food, etc.) Abusive, homophobic, ableist supervisors who purposely drive away employees who aren't like them. They round your clock in/out times to the nearest 15 minutes that gives YOU less money. Clocking out at 6:05? They pay you to 6:00. They don't tell you this until after they steal money from you. Bare minimum breaks by legal standards, and if you're over 18, you can take a break as soon as your shift starts, then go 10 hour days with no more breaks. This is abuse, no matter how short staffed you are. Irresponsible with minors and frantically pushing the child labor laws to their absolute limit.

Pros

Nothing no redeeming factors at all

Cons

Horrible management was running the costumes and everything else they were so disrespectful they accused me of taking my break without permission even tho I was told to take it. They grouped people with disabilities together and we were all told to stand around the lazy river and "count the waves" when I asked if I could use the restroom they ignored me so I went when I couldn't hold it anymore then they chased me down in the restroom stood infront of the exit and reprimanded me from leaving my "waves counting position" because it was dangerous someone could've fell in even though we weren't open and I was within 5 feet of another employee who also just standing there staring at the water. Then the pufe garud cussed me out so I just quit on the spot!
