This company (Sea World Entertainment) has soiled itself all while pointing the finger at everyone else. Playing the victim to PETA and other activist organizations all while refusing to stand up for itself. Sea world has left the dirty job of cleaning up its wrecked reputation to its bottom rung hourly employees. Expecting them to jump and bend over backwards to achieve high "guest courtesy scores" while giving it's employees none of the tools to do so. Sea world has cheaped out on us like a friend who dines and dashes, leaving you caught holding the bill. This "company" consistently avoids taking responsibility for its actions and gaslights it's team, telling them they care while cutting every good thing their employees used to have access to, like opportunity for advancement in the company. The "Sea of opportunity" is barely even a puddle anymore. Anyone who is lucky enough to have climbed the corporate ladder and earned a well paying position through loyalty, hard work and dedication has now been let go.
SEA WORLD IS NOT BEING HONEST about its intent to have the park be run by inexpensive, inexperienced people who will only ever have part time or seasonal positons. Sea world doesn't care about the welfare of its employees and doesn't want to offer health insurance or benefits to them. That is the bottom line.
Sea world only cares about its wealthy "investors". This company doesn't realize that it's employees are the actual investors: Investing time, energy and SO MUCH HEART into this place. Sea world lays off its real investors (the employees) to impress the investors with deep pockets. The reality is that you aren't impressing anyone Sea World.
Expect more layoffs and cuts. They are nowhere near their goal of $50 million saved.
