The team I worked with at the front gate was awesome. Even though I currently am busy with school and athletics they still communicate with me and continue to wish me well.
What I wish was different
I would say the hours worked. A lot of time in a 3-4 day week.
Advice
Working at Dollywood is a fun job for people that are very social and looking to greet others from all over the country.

What I liked
It was a really good experience working at a theme park, seeing all of the behind the scenes, and getting a different view of theme parks other than being a visitor
What I wish was different
Not much, it was not a super long job and though it was tiring at times, it was a good experience
Advice
Tiring but fun. It is not your ordinary job but it could be tiring at times, many times actually. It was a great experience as well getting to interact with the people in Tennessee as well as regular workers there.
