LA County Fair 2016 (seasonal employment)

Pros

Being hired to work at the county fair is an easy, simple process. Because the work is incredibly fast-paced, the month-long position goes by very quickly. Supervisors have the ability to dramatically increase (or decrease) your hours, so you can end up working way more hours than you initially expected. You will be given a few free fair tickets and free fair parking.

Cons

Many employees have issues with being paid for an incorrect amount of hours, and it is a hassle to remedy this. Supervisors are not exactly eager to help you fix your paychecks. Due to low standards for hiring, you will work alongside some extremely shady, lazy, unprofessional people.
