Pros

The kids are so wonderful and cute you get paid from the tjme you leave your house until the time you come back home. It is part time but you do get a lot of hours. However it’s seasonal. There are opportunities to come back after the season!

Cons

My experience was truly one for the books. It all started out with the manager I had. There was a lack of communication I had to contact her for everything . I had actually missed orientation but I was never told what was said in that either. I went to work my first day not knowing a thing. She delayed my schedule coming out not for me but for all the other new coworkers as well. I as in “ training for 3 weeks “ . My first day on my own was a mess. My manager ended up coming to help and told me to give her back all the equipment that I just received. She told me I would be back in training and so I reached out to her a few times and she never got back to me. I was essentially ghosted. Now in terms of the company itself it truly seems like It's a lovely company. When I would call the tech they were always really nice on the phone. I just think I had a bad manager. I’m not in and way shape or form bashing ,but I just had a very bad experience. It’s not professional whatsoever.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
