Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of Hours and Free Admission to the Park, and the occasional extra bonuses. ( Not always in the form of cash)

Cons

They pay their cashiers seventy-five cents over minimum wage. The working condition can get uncomfortable at times especially towards the end of summer. Schlitterbahn is always under staffed, so the customer service is slow which causes the guests to get very irritable at times.
