I wanted to write this review for future employee workers. Today was my last day, and I wanted to express the humiliating treatment that happens at Tinkertown.
There is no place to start but just to mention all the horrible things us workers deal with. This is my second year working for Tinkertown, and having a bit of experience, I can say that the person named Kyle does not know how to manage his employees. There is no communication whatsoever, and he is harsh on certain people. For example, if I speak to a colleague for one minute, he starts yelling at us. On the other hand, some people hold conversations in front of him, laugh, and do no work whatsoever, and he ignores them.
Another point is that during my final exam week, when time was valuable for me to study, Kyle would let me off for one or two hours unpaid, and I had to wait for other people to finish their shifts so they could pick me up. Kyle knew about it, and he still made me wait two hours until they were done. The same goes for these people. Even if you don't ask to leave early, he will give you a 30-minute unpaid break and even let you off two hours early so the place looks full of employees and not empty. What a waste of everyone's time.
Another thing I wanted to mention is that last year I was asked to work a month straight without a single day off because so many employees kept quitting due to the treatment at Tinkertown. I agreed to help because they were short-staffed, but having to work an entire month without one day of rest was unreasonable.
Since this is my second year working at this place, I requested an extra shirt because mine had shrunk to my waist. He didn't care whatsoever and even questioned me about why I came to work once without my shirt. That just shows how stingy Kyle can be.
Last year, Kyle even forgot to buckle the seatbelts on three little kids when he covered my bathroom break and started the ride with the kids on it. They were not buckled whatsoever, 50 feet in the air on Gunslinger, the big swings. Also, on the Pirate Ship, he got a kid's finger stuck in the lap bar while closing it down. No safety whatsoever.
I left a two-week notice as a courtesy, but I honestly regret doing such a thing. I think the best option for my dignity would have been to do a no-call, no-show.
There are so many things I would like to say, but I think what I have said is enough to echo what us employees get to experience and how we are treated by Kyle. read more
