      You get good at handling and organizing money
      People watching
      You get to play the games occasionally
      Your co-workers are just as miserable as you are, and that breeds good comradery.
      You meet a lot of cool people from other countries.
      Discounted park food which is actually yummy.

      They are not flexible with schedules at all.
      You're outside 99% of the time, rain or shine.
      Extreme bouts of boredom.
      Long hours doing nothing
      Very little acknowledgment of good deeds (raking in huge amounts of cash on slow days) by management.
      Management (supervisors and up) sometimes is just mean to everyone.
