Calypso Theme Waterpark

Typical day at work was walking around in the sun cleaning any garbage on the ground with a sweeper and a bin, smiling at customers and directing customers around the park to their desired attraction or to the closest washroom/changing room. The hardest part of the job was being forced to walk around the park in the pouring rain when the park for some reason wouldn't close due to the weather... but even that wasn't so bad, because there would never be garbage in the rain. Management was scattered everywhere , hard to find and hard to understand but the supervisors and TL's were much more useful anyways. Happy environment, no one works at a water park and is sad about it. Free sun, many friends, and a free summer pass comes with the job - employee discount everyday and free gatorade on days that were 25 degrees + !!! Super worth it. I was hired for maintenance but also received shifts as a life guard and horticulture work.

A typical day as a lifeguard at Calypso began early in the morning with a long drive to the park with every shift being a 10 hour rotation throughout the park in the blistering sun. One thing I learned much about was the relationship between corporate workers of the company and the in park staff, its was a very productive and friendly relationship that you don't see often in large business's. The workplace culture was fantastic with everyone being in the same boat going through the same long hours made us all very close. The Hardest Part of the job was just avoiding heat stroke, where the most enjoyable part of the job was helping people out of dangerous situations.

A typical day at Calypso does become stressful at some point because it is a very big waterpark attraction. In my position at Calypso was the ticket booths. I would ensure that they get the corresponding tickets for the whole family. Sometimes it was general admission passes or season passes. The management was very kind and welcoming. Never have I had issues with my bosses and colleagues. the hardest part of the job was the clientele. They would argue about the prices of the tickets as Calypso is a very expensive waterpark. Some clientele would also get aggressive with you so we would have to bring security into the picture. The most enjoyable part of the job was how much fun we'd have between employers. There was never a dull moment. Also, we got a free season pass!

Working at calypso was an experience for sure! You had your daily dose of cranky rude customers but you also had to deal with a management team that would often yell, not everyone on the management team was bad. Some were amazing and very sweet and some were mean and disrespectful. You would expect that with the income that Calypso makes they could supply their workers with AC or even a fan, surprisingly their employees are left with nothing but to resort to cold rags being placed on our necks. Apart from poor management and no ac Calypso is a good place for a summer job, you get to work with amazing coworkers and you definitely learn a lot.

This was a amazing life experience 2 years nous i. Een the sessional but looking forward to summer 3 i would  recommend this waterpark to anyone out there this with a great life experience to actually be in a waterpark environment socializing with people dealing with customers and patriots every day  but it showed me that I can handle customers on my own and made me a stronger person to be working for Calypso without calling a supervisor or I had guard I would recommend this to anyone that has the patience of dealing with customers and clients this with a great life experience and would be great on anyone's resume

I worked hard and long hours but i also came out of there with new friendships and a great work experience.

A typical day in the food production was to make sheer that there was enough salads and sandwiches in the correct areas of the park and make sheer that it was all up to date and respected the food and safety that the government provides.

The hardest part of working there is that it is in the summer so it dose get hot anywhere, so drink lots of water and eat before starting your shift because I've seen people faint and its not fun.

Worst experience of my life. Manager bullies employees. If you are a slide attendant, good luck getting allow well with lifeguard. I would said the heat was the hardest part of the job but everything made it hard, not listening to the rules. I did not enjoy it at all. Even if you work well last summer, good luck on getting your job back. They will make up an excuse not to rehired you. I know people who should be promote it and didn't get promote it. The supervisor are idiots. Training actually suck has well. They don't paid overtime and they stop paying you 15 minutes after closing. Not guarantee of break.

Overall, don't go there

Responsible for establishing the Client Services Welcome division which included 9 departments and opening of the new waterpark. 
I learned to adapt to an even faster paced work environment. 
I managed up to 85 employees. I needed to keep up with the extremely high volume of visitors using all brand new technology, all new employees. It was a great challenge learning all departments in such a short period of time, training the employees to be self sufficient. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff was great! I really enjoyed their company and I would always get my days off accepted.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is when we have very long lines of people wanting to come in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is vibrant and the culture is static! Very interesting to meet so many people from around the world.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chat with the team leader and then do the orders they gave me

a typical work day was either blistering sun or rain, you worked form the start of your shift untill whenever the park was closed and they didnt pay overtime. The management was horrible! They hired someone off the street to be the manager for the maintenance staff and he did a horrible job at it, co-workers were mostly fine. The hardest part of the job was cleaning up after people when they would decide to go to the bathroom in the middle of the park. But the most enjoyable part of the job was that I got to be outside all summer long and make money doing it.
