The actual job itself was so rewarding, especially seeing smiles' on kids faces and honestly so fun. It was fun being able to help families have a good time but the mental toll it took on me to be in a terribly hostile work environment made me not care enough. The communication was horrible and nearly non-existent. That being said getting along with co-workers was very difficult.

But be aware of how much this workplace varies depending on the season - some days will be good, some days will be incredibly stress-inducing, and some days will just be downright confusing. Overall an okay job for entry-level workers, especially those interested in aquatic life. well, not all of them are particularly pleasant to the minimum wage employees they encounter. Spring is a really busy season in terms of customers, and. Speaking of which, they have you do quite a bit of work for not very much pay, and it can take a lot out of you. On some occasions I found myself thrown into the deep end (pun intended) with regards to positions I had not worked yet. I was part of a large group of new seasonal hires, so there were many of us getting trained in at the same time and not enough senior employees to do much of the training. However, I was confused a lot about duties, hours, breaks, etc.

My coworkers were very nice and management was generally understanding/accommodating. The environment was unique, engaging, and interesting. Working at Sea Life MOA, I learned a lot about marine life and other things - it was a great opportunity for education.
