Pros

Getting to meet some very friendly people in the public and lots of great kids who are having fun.

Cons

Extremely long hours in the hot sun without being able to sit down (up to 12 hour shifts). Very low pay. Perception of being a fun job, but not so much fun after you get started. Poor, inexperienced supervisors and trainers. Basically a "good ole boy network" management. Lack of respect for professional skills. Profess to have Christian values but don't practice them in reality.

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate atmosphere encourages employees to stay for their entire career. Many employees have been their multiple decades. This causes a sense of family and this atmosphere extends to everyone in the company.

Cons

Many positions are seasonal, leaving periods of unemployment or underemployment. The company is aware of the difficulties and helps employees where it can, but it can be difficult to budget for down season times.
