      I have been working at Delaware North full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I made one New Year's resolution for 2018, "Work outdoors, in moderate temperatures, with little or no supervision, in wide open spaces". Through process of elimination I decided to go to work for DNC starting in February this year. My first gig was tending bar outdoors at Maryvale Stadium in Phoenix for Brewers Spring Training for all of Feb. and March. My next gig was for Petco Stadium in San Diego for the Padres for all of April, I worked various positions, but mostly outdoors, mission accomplished. They asked me to stay for the entire season, but I had already committed to DNC's Yavapai Lodge for May thru October which is where I am currently and in just a few weeks will be working as a cocktail server in The Tavern's NEW outdoor patio as soon as it's finished. I love my company. Everyone has been so nice. It is a company of mutual accommodation. They understand the need for a life outside of work. Just yesterday I was offered a split shift full time bartending postion, a generous offer for someone so new, but I declined. I am treating all of my opportunities as a working vacation. I said it would take the joy out of working in the Grand Canyon and I would lose interest fast without the free time I currently have. He fully understood my position, and I will remain a FT, cocktail server, working outdoors, in wide open spaces, mid afternoon to closing, mornings free to explore this great National Park. DNC has 186 venues. At the end of October, it'll be cold here, so, a season or two at Lizard Island Resort in Australia is looking super enticing as my next goal. I really want to just say KUDOS to all the fantastic people I have come into contact with thus far. You are amazing and I am happy to be a part of this team.

      Cons

      I personally have not experienced any cons. I'm not the type of person to dwell on little things. I have heard stories from unhappy people to which I always say, "the difference between ordeal and adventure is attitude, change your attitude".

      Pros

      Great company to work for as a part-time employee, or student! Hours vary weekly depending on events at the arena. Pay and benefits are incredible! Great atmosphere and values that the company stand for!

      Cons

      A bit of lack in the communication area due to it being such a large company.

      Advice to Management

      Make sure employees are aware of all changes in the facility, some employees are not present at every event.

      Pros

      Being a retiree, it is nice to get out part-time, enjoy and be paid. Great concerts and Tampa Bay Lightning (HOCKEY) home.

      Cons

      Retiree input, parking is crazy. In this day and time, should have SAFER avenues for employees.

      Advice to Management

      Up communication, safer parking. Everything else is 👍.

    8. "Job ends early"

      Pros

      Yellowstone National Park, good housing

      Cons

      Hours are cut and assignment ends early. Work for a more professional company or bring a lot of extra money before you arrive. Have enough for trip home. Your bank most likely will not be in town making it hard to get extra money when your hours are cut and the assignment ends early. I also worked as a breakfast attendant; the company wants the job done but does not want to pay for the time needed to do what needs to be done.

      I worked at Delaware North full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The pay is good and the schedule.

      Cons

      The shift I was on had literally the worst co workers ever, first day I was literally just standing there and no one even acknowledge me, the guy they had training didn’t even want to train me it was horrible, they had music with cussing in every sentence playing loudly take note that we were in the airport.

      Advice to Management

      Stop hiring any and everyone that’s why the turnover is so high, and when someone reaches out to you about there first day being horrible at least reach out to the person and figure out what we could do going forward.
