Fun and Unpredictable
Ride Operator (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – May 9, 2013
When working here I never regretted anything. I love working at Sea World. Its like one of the best jobs I've ever worked for because I was working with great co-workers and very understanding management. If I could I would go back to work for them.

fun place to work
Cashier (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – April 20, 2013
Pros: free lunch and drinks.
overall it was a great place to work. i worked the cart out side one of the restaurants so i mostly worked alone. since this was my first job I learned a lot. It was fun to see all the park goers excited about the next show they would see or attraction they would ride. whenever i ran into a problem I always got the help i needed.

A challenging yet rewarding workplace.
Food Service Associate (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – February 11, 2013
Pros: free lunch
Cons: the shifts
A typical day at work can be challenging yet fun. Challenging because sometimes the guests have issues or complaints and are not the easiest to please. However, our team and management always have smiles on our faces and get along great so it's always a good day. There really isn't a hard part of my job. The most enjoyable is serving the guests and – more... watching them leave happy. – less

working in shows is the best place to work
ride operator/shows (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – January 6, 2013
Pros: cheap lunches, great perks, great co-workers
Cons: hard to get part-time
Working as a ride operator isn't the easiest job. Rules are always changing, lack of communication from supervisors. Summers are brutal and they expect way to much for only $8.04 an hour. but once i started working in Shows i really started coming to work. better management, supervisors are always around to help and Leads help out alot more then in – more... Rides. – less

SeaWorld is SeaWorld
Park Operations (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – January 6, 2013
Pros: cheap lunches, flexible, access to the park
Cons: hard to move up, not alot of hours, no benefits
Management is okay. "Leads" are more understanding. Given alot of shirt shifts like 4 hours but it is very easy to switch shifts or get more hours if wanted. Guests can be very rude though.

Admissions Representative (Former Employee), Orlando,FL – January 6, 2013
Pros: good benefits and discounts
Cons: needs better asst. supervisors and compassion for religious groups
SeaWorld is all in all a good company, they make sure the serious benefits balance the fun benefits, for example if you work the holidays then you get 40% off everything in the park and i havent been there long and they already set up my 401k

False Smiles and Sad Animals
Culinary Assistant (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – December 14, 2012
Pros: free lunches, free park admission, free admission to universal and any seaworld owned park
Cons: short breaks, ugly uniform, bad free lunches, heat
I need more money during a summer break from college, so I applied and got hired at SeaWorld.
I show up, stand outside for hours sweating in my polyester visor and watch as all the tourists flock by. I dealt with the cash register, food administration and cooking. Sometimes I worked at the stands selling soft drinks.
Management was cool and friendly, – more... I quite liked them. As always, my coworkers save me. If I hadn't had jovial cracks at my expense and other coworkers expense, I wouldn't have survived the summer.
The hardest part of the job was when someone stole your fan. You do not want to be in dark blue/green and black outside in the middle of Florida summer for hours without a fan.
That being said, the most enjoyable part was getting to do inventory in the freezer.
A legitimately hard part of the job was restocking and making sure the customers were happy. – less

Depending on your position you job can be very fun or very stressful.
Night Park Quailty (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – November 30, 2012
Pros: experience, pay, jobs
Cons: management, lack of communication with co-workers
The pay is good but i dont think their night park quality is getting paid the right amount for the task they need done over night. Also so they tend to avoid giving scheduled days off for personal reason and the supervisors can b a little bit more organized.Day Park is good it seems very fun an a great experience.

NO EMPLOYEE RESPECT FROM UPPER MANAGEMENT
line cook (Former Employee), orlando, fl – November 17, 2012
Pros: free park tickets
Cons: hr, management (ugh)
The actual job in itself wasnt too bad but the organization and way that management ran the kitchen was ridiculous, they had ppl with zero cook experience in the kitchen, and only were nice to us "cooks" when they needed a big job done, or some dirty work finished, other than that they treat kitchen staff like complete garbage even if you give %100 – more... everyday, and trust me Im not the only ex-employee who feels this way or quit because of the work environment – less

Face paced fun enivornment
Culinary Operations/ Beverage Hostess (Current Employee), San Diego, CA – November 8, 2012
Pros: free lunches, great wages
Cons: not enough hours in off season
A typical day at work was nonstop action from the moment our doors opened. The lines were almost always never ending. When we finally did get a break, we scrambled immediately to start cleaning and restocking and doing everything to prepare for the next rush. I learned how to quickly memorize guests orders and the hard work and dedication it takes to – more... work in the food industry. My management was great and always there to help and teach. My co-workers were truly amazing. We all learned to communicate and play on the same team very fast. The hardest part of the job was when something in the food line fell behind and we had to play catch up really fast to continue to make the guests happy. The most enjoyable part of my job was that I got to meet so many new people from so many different walks of life. The face pace kept it interesting and enjoyable. – less

Fun workplace
Beverage Hostess (Current Employee), San Diego, CA – September 18, 2012
I enjoy working here. It is a fast-paced environment so the day goes by fast. I have direct contact with hundreds of people and it is very interesting to get to know their stories (where are they from? Why are they visiting San Diego?). I just like to have fun while also working. The hardest part of my job is working under the sun or under the rain.
