Working at the renfest these days feel very...carnival-esque. It doesn't feel like working in a beautiful medieval times setting anymore. I've worked seasonally for 5 years and every year gets more and more messy. The people that get hired here in games also tend to not give a care about customers or fellow team members, leaving randomly to go on a break when they feel like it.
I honestly worked with 4 people in a season that I had to wonder how they got hired. I feel like this company has just stopped caring about both its workers and entertainers, because the performers as well seem to be miserable.
The days are hot and long, sweaty and hard. The pay is okay for a teenager or side hustle. Though since they're open during tornado warnings or thunderstorms too, expect at least one weekend where youre getting up to work in a monsoon, depending on georgia weather.
