Pros

Decent job for high schoolers (minus the late hours), cool benefits of 50% off concessions and free tickets. For management, it’s “less” work but far more exhausting dealing with these major guest events. Decently easy to get promoted from within and the hours as a manager are consistent.

Cons

PTO is VERY slow to accrue, the pay is horrible ($13.50 manager base/$10 emp base), and the operating hours are constantly changing in drastic ways. Why do we have people working on their feet from 7-5pm and 5-2am? You will WORK, and be understaffed because “we just need to cut hours”, hint: the GM gets a bonus payout for labor hours saved. I did an entire round of hiring entirely by myself on top of being a full-time university student for zero extra pay (minus the extra hours I was here). Our location’s on-duty officer, of which is only present for busy weekend nights, likes to disappear halfway into his shift!
