Fun and a great experience
Turnstile attendant (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – May 17, 2013
Pros: breaks, nice people, fun events within the parks, team member deals
Cons: working outside, pay rate
Universal Studios is a great place to work. Its fun and there's a lot of job opportunities as well as careers available. I love the environment, everyone is upbeat and helpful. My experience here as a seasonal turnstile attendant have been great. The manager's understand that I am a college student and work with scheduling me for work in the summers – more... and during breaks and holidays. I love that i get to meet a lot of different people from different places! The guest are always excited to come to the parks and have fun and I am happy that I was a part of the reason for their great day. – less

Pros: my coworkers and boss are fun to work with
Cons: long commute time, not alot of room for advancement
I love my coworkers. The workload ebbs and flows. Some days its super busy and some days its slow. We always leave on time, which is great. Everyone gets their work done on time and looks out for one another.

Games Cashier (Former Employee), Universal City, CA – May 6, 2013
Pros: free entrance into the park, meet tons of people
Cons: rude customers, odd promotion policies
I was working in the carnival games area and had a blast. Did have some issues with the managerial staff promoting people who were not eligible for promotion or that didn't do their work after promotion, but overall a good experience.

Fun work
Ticket Agent (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – May 5, 2013
Pros: fun environment
Cons: wages
Universal Studios in general is a fun place to work.
If you are employed other than management the pay is minimum wage, nothing to support a family of but good supplemental income.
Need to enjoy working with lots of tourists who are quite often not too happy.

Great place to work.
A/V Technician (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – April 29, 2013
Camera op at the Live Fear Factor show for Universal Orlando. My management team is great and fun to work with and my co-worker are the best people. The hardest part of working at Universal Orlando is being a seasonal employee and only working when needed. The best part of working at Universal Orlando is the networking in the industry I love.

Exciting work enviroment.
Freelance (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – April 24, 2013
Pros: close to home (location).
Cons: freelance, sporadic work.
The Crew was helpful and the job was exciting. This was for a live NHL on NBC hockey game. I learned how they put on this massive event systematically. The managers and tech heads were helpful in directing me to where and what I had to do. The Best part was the non stop action. Figuring out my way around the hard part. I worked 2 Penguins/Flyers games – more... and the Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park. – less

Fun place
CASHIER (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – April 22, 2013
Pros: working at universal
Cons: hours
Universal was a fun place to work. I worked a booth with popcorn and churros. I did not work with any co-workers because I worked the booth alone but the ones that I came across were nice. Management really did not involve themselves that much but when I came across them they were nice.

Amazing job
Production Assistant (Former Employee), Burbank, CA – April 18, 2013
Pros: amazing staff, unmatched income, and a lot of fun
Cons: no longer there
I had the most amazing time working here, and wish I was still here. If I could talk about what happened and why so many were let go, I would, however I am gagged by a strick confidentiality agreement that won't allow me to speak of what is going on there. If you watch the news about the Tonight Show, you know :-)

Internship at Local 4 was invaluable.
Intern (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – April 16, 2013
Pros: experience, environment
Cons: unpaid, making a reel as an intern is not allowed.
Most internships in this business are unpaid. I hear that peopl thing this unfair, I see their point, but I also know that this hones our skills as future news people and gives us the realization that we chose do do this because we love it, not for the money. Money is great, don't get me wrong; we have to do this because we can't picture doing anything – more... else.

This internship was great. I learned from some of the best people in the business. As the Assignment Manager said, "It is so great to have an intern who we tell how to do something once and they do it like it's their job every time."

I would routinely get there 30 minutes early so, in the off chance a day time reporter or anchor would need help, I could be there to offer that help. I would get my beat checks done quickly and without complaint. As a result, I was given tasks that were more and more important. I mean, sure some was busy work, but spending the day at the U.S. District Court was an invaluable experience.

I would recommend this station for an internship, but only if you are sure that you want to work in news. – less

great work place
Supervisor (Former Employee), U.S. Army – April 13, 2013
A typical work day would start at 0600 in the morning with paid exercise then you get a break to take a shower and change clothes, come back to work, work on your own equipment, check your vehicle, learn how to shoot, learn new equipment, and life skills.
Being a supervisor you learn how to deal and manage different types of people. The hardest part – more... of the job is being away from your family for long periods of time, overall I loved everything about my job. – less
