0/10 if you want to make money and work in stable conditions

Business Outlook

Pros

Good job during the summer

Cons

If you want to keep this as a permanent job don’t. This company’s highest sales are during the summer months and for winterfest, after that expect no shift at especially if you were working during the summer in to winterfest. After winterfest all previous employees get no shifts but seasonal workers turned part time get all the shifts. Not to mention if you become a shift lead you only get a .25¢ increase.
