Great Place to work

Pros

It's a great place to work and learn new skills. Usually you end up wearing more than one hat but that gives you the opportunity to get to know the company from different sides.

Cons

Long hours in the pre-season and during the summer and the pay could be better.

Pros

Hi to all! I've worked as lifeguard at schlitterbahn from may to september 2014. hat i can say, it was a least fun, a lot of new international friends.

Cons

but this job is awful, you work for 10-12 hours per day, killing yourself at the sun, they are paying you minimal wage and treat you like nobody.

Pros

Great work experience and great on learning leadership skills at a young age. Great for harnessing various types of work skills such as multi-tasking, customer service, hands on learning & much more. Great way to learn people skills and the staff you meet every season will make you want to come back.

Cons

Great for a seasonal job but extremely hard to move up within the company. Staff feels overworked for its rate of pay. Extreme hours during the summer (also a pro if you like long hours) Even after working for the company for a substantial amount, you still stand a chance of being denied promotion or raise.
