Minimum wage, maximum expectations

Pros

Good hours; "supposed" to be an easy job

Cons

To be blunt everyone that was working at my location had no ambitions or really any other future endeavors. I worked there for two days (needed a part time job because only had classes at college three days a week), and it was not a pleasant time. As a guest service associate, you need to talk on the phone, make appointments, sell packages-really easy stuff. But corporate makes you memorize lines and scripts, and a bunch of stuff that will never help you in the future.
