I am interested in the experiences of those who were called back, that is, those who agreed to return? What is the atmosphere like in the company now? Have you regretted coming back?
I had so much desire to be called back, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Then I spoke to another person who agreed to come back and said she immediately regretted doing so.
I was called back and it was the worst 3 months. I started looking for a new job within a week.. All those that were full time and brought back part time - you will never be full time again. BGW use to be a great place to work. The people they have entrusted to manage the place- havent a clue as to what they are doing. And dont care about how they treat employees or the morale. Its really sad. Should tell them something when no matter the sign on bonus and pay - no one wants to work there. It has become a very toxic environment. And when you are posting jobs that people still furloughed that tells you what kind of cr---y employer they are. The new HR person is on a witch hunt. And IT good luck getting anything done there. All the old timers left there because of one employee. Just very sad. But glad I am gone.
According to guest responses, Busch Williamsburg s—s. The January - February opens were terrible. Only half the park was open, it was to cold for major rides to operate and the majority of the shops were closed. Management decided to have a 4 or 5 hour session. The park would then close and reopen an hour later for another session.
Morale is bad. During my visit, I heard numerous employees grumbling about SEA management and the park overall looked in disorder and unkept.
Friends of mine started b!tching at me for the condition of the park, the less than adequate food portions and poor service. I was happy to say not my park...I don't work for them.
When I got called back at SWSD, it was like babysitting. Enforcing that mask policy to grown a– adults who should know better really drained me and gave me an incentive to leave when I could. It was chaotic when it was busy, especially in the restaurants.
At SWSD I know people who had to reapply for their jobs just to come back. And when they did it was nothing like it used to be. Morale is non existant. Every policy and procedure has changed and not for the better. The new employees have no idea about guest service and no incentive to help anyone. They hired people who would not question anything and be little robots. They used to hire the cream of the crop now it's the c-ap of the crop.
I have heard morale in the Orlando park is horrible. Too many things have changed and too much being put on those who do remain. Simple things that should probably not have changed during times like this, things like clocking out for lunch. The fact that they currently have 3 pages of job openings is also somewhat telling. Either business is much better that they expected, or people are still leaving on their own.
I am with you - glad I did not get called back.
