Pros

You work with some pretty awesome people and you can do all the tourist traps in the city for free.

Cons

Bad management. They take breaks out of your paycheck even if you don't take a break. Lots of standing and walking. They leave you out on dock without water for hours. Play favoritism. They will schedule you for 40+ hours a week even if you request less hours.
