Pros

Free Entry to the parks. That's it nowadays.

Cons

They've gone downhill BAD. They cut hours, removed much of the lunch facility hours and replaced that with food trucks. Leadership is on a power trip now, and most of the good ones got laid off. Just don't do it.

Pros

Leads and team members and most supervisors are nice

Cons

Promotion is very predatory the higher ups do not care about you or your safety and if they do not like you you will know and feel it. They do not care about you.
