Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Employee Reviews about "long hours"

Pros

I worked here starting as my first job as a high schooler, and eventually worked my way up to a department supervisor. Great learning and growth opportunities to those venturing into the workforce that could grow into full time positions if you stay long enough. - Benefits are nice compared to everything that the company has to offer. I worked at the park, but benefits expand to any H E&R property. - Depending on department - events and team building are very fun - Great atmosphere if you enjoy working in a fast-paced & family environment - Free chocolate sometimes - Much better summer job than being stuck in a building behind a counter all day - Supervisors and managers provide good training before you start and also during - The older college kids that work tend to be really personal and excellent leaders - Excellent opportunities to move up in your department the longer you stay with the company. I was promoted twice within my 4 years working there. - The higher you move up, the more responsibility you get, but the more you learn. - Cool ways to earn gift cards and recognition at the company through Legacy Checks.

Cons

- Be prepared for long hours, especially if you become a supervisor. You can choose to work shorter or longer hours though - Depending on the property, it is hot! Seasonal summers at the park and Zoo are hot! Be prepared! - Management does not always listen to advice from down the chain, and some employees don't care about other employees or guests. But this comes with any job. There are a lot of people who really do care. But that one grouchy employee can ruin everything.

Pros

-Paid lunch (on duty for security calls [rarely was I called]) -Loved working outside (best was at camp ground, I would come back to only work the camp ground)

Cons

-Standing long hours -Low pay -Not sure who direct supervisor was
