Knowledge gained overshadowed by poor management and discrimination

Ride operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Gained a lot of knowledge and an interest in the industry.

Cons

While I gained a lot of knowledge, towards the end, I gave all my knowledge as per the inexperienced (or careless) management. I find that the discriminatory behavior against myself, colleagues, and beyond is reprehensible and the reason for such discrimination is due to my upcoming resignation. Additionally, the negligence towards the park is awful. I hope to see a new operator take over the park.
