Pros

Pros: not many really to be honest. it's cool to work in the park if you grew up there I guess, but it also might ruin it for you. i guess one pro is that it seems super easy to scale up... they wanted me to apply to be a supervisor one week in.

Cons

Cons: management was pretty bad. supervisors and area coordinators were awesome and super friendly but past that it was a nightmare. also if you dont have the patience to deal with rude guests good luck, this place breeds them.
