Pros

Great concept and fun loving guests, I loved meeting children and connecting. The ceiling is high in terms of being creative at work.

Cons

Loyalty & innovation was hardly appreciated by the management, as long as they could cash in. Social climate good for the "right" person. Constant complains and berating off-floor while playing it nice on-floor. Confusing? Yes!
