Pros

Kids are sweet Make memories for others

Cons

The company used to be very family oriented and now they treat their employees as dispensable and make them try to nickel and dime the guests. Employees have to act like car salesmen because their entire schedule is based on money. Experience used to come first but now the company only cares about the bottom line and treats their employees as nothing more than a number.
