Once I got over trying to help them make more money or be efficient, it was fine. ( literally moving the garbage can closer to where people emptied their creamers/ sugar was a no-no)
They have a weird shift every other week. You are on morning then not til late in the day. Kind of wasted your whole day instead of just straight 8 hrs.
It was pretty easy, nice people, great park, good pay for what we did, nice campsites. I would work for them again.
Have fun!
