Pros

Schedule fit in well with my school schedule Nice coworkers Very diverse work environment?

Cons

Had to stand for hours in the heat with only one 30 minute break for lunch Pay starts pretty low and tips play a big role in how much you leave the season with, and highly depends on what food youre selling Understaffed i guess. A lot of the more skilled workers dont get paid enough considering how much work they do and the fact they have to live off of that money during the week

Pros

I worked in the Entertainment department for several years. My fellow cast members were enthusiastic and creative. Interacting with guests was always a joy. As long as I was "on stage," it was fun and rewarding on a personal level.

Cons

The Entertainment department has been pared back year after year. People who attended the festival 15 years ago remember streets filled with eccentric characters, musicians and acts. Children got to watch dozens of characters not only be silly but also engage in choreographed stage combat. Today, you can walk through the entire festival and not hear a single musician or spot a character. It's not the performers' faults -- there are fewer of them and the grounds are large. And remember when I said it was always fun to be "on stage?" Going backstage was much less fun. While my fellow cast mates were great, it was a constant reminder that the department as a whole has been overlooked. And that's not even addressing the pay situation (which isn't pretty -- you have to love what you do because the pay is not good).
