Pros

Cool work environment Free entry to the park Great discounts for tickets to several different theme parks Great discounts in Universal Able to see Universal movies before release A lot of variety in the lunch room

Cons

Very long probationary period, based on hours worked not length of time employed Extremely strict clock-in guidelines, you had to go to wardrobe, get your costume on, then walk to your attraction, I would get to work 30-60 min early to have time to clock in since if you clocked in even four minutes late you'd get an infraction.

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.
