Pros

*Meeting people from all over the globe. *Working at a place that almost everyone is having fun. *its a seasonal job, so you can work as many hours as you want.

Cons

*Dealing with very young Coworkers, it's like dealing with a day care at times. *its a seasonal job there is no overtime. *the starting rate for line staff is only minimum wage, so they must bring in international workers to have enough staff during the summer season.

Pros

I had a wicked farmer's tan by the end of the Summer. My manager was cute.

Cons

Employees are mostly 16-17 years old. Not an ideal workplace for college students.
