Nearing post summer, any word?
Are things still the same?
6 months ago I moved to another state and got a job working in a warehouse moving freight. I don’t remember it being as such a horrible place to work but then again it’s all in your perspective. I’m actually thinking of applying part time weekends to... — read more
Such a great company!
Treats its employees so well! It's a joy working here!
Any recommendations?
Can anyone recommend a good site to build a resume? I know that help is available free of charge at the Department of Labor but I am looking for other options. I want to leave SW so bad I’ve reached a point where I’m just ready to quit but I know I... — read more
Can’t keep anyone
LOL at all the open positions posted on their website. Even for Zoo Ops! That’s how you know it’s bad when the animals aren’t enough for the people to stay and deal with their BS….. Shoutout to everyone who has moved onto bigger and better things... — read more
Glad to be gone!
So many of my friends still work for the Orlando parks and are miserable. 60+ hour work weeks, mandatory 6 day work weeks, no vacation time getting approved and a miserable environment where toxicity and un appreciation run rampant. Good riddance... — read more
Layoff as an opportunity
No need to despair. After they changed my status from furlough to laid off, I found a new job in record time. I just took it as a new opportunity. I'm almost sure most people would never leave this company unless they were pushed out? If I hadn’t... — read more
How long did it take you?
I’m pretty sure that when we got furloughed during the pandemic last year there were many of us who held onto the hope of being called back. Then, after months of waiting, there was no communication to return to work. Some (such as me) didn’t wait... — read more
Is SW on resume worth anything?
I wasn't very angry when I got laid off because I wanted it to some extent. I can only say that I was relieved when they told me that they no longer needed me, they helped me make a decision that I could not make on my own for a long time. I turned... — read more

There are some things you can’t get over
I was with SEA for most of my adult life and was impacted in the major layoffs last year. I’ve moved on since then, found a job that is decent with pay and benefits but my heart is not in it. I no longer give my all the way I did for SeaWorld. I... — read more
How are the layoffs affecting animal care?
I left this company on my own, I didn’t wait to get laid off because it became clear that it would happen sooner or later. I loved my job very much and it was very difficult for me to get used to something much different that I am doing now. At... — read more

They used to care about people and animals until SR got his hands on us! This guy used to report to MS (CEO) shame shame shame on you MS! Money and greed have taken you over. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, this employee was laid off by... — read more

Morale is so bad
It's like living a bad dream. I have absolutely no motivation and still find it hard to accept how devastated this company is. I used to come to work smiling, and now... I can barely stand it. What about you? The job is very hard to find, at least... — read more
Can you lay us off already?
We can't sue until we're let go permanently and this is taking way too long.
Experiences after going back?
I am interested in the experiences of those who were called back, that is, those who agreed to return? What is the atmosphere like in the company now? Have you regretted coming back? I had so much desire to be called back, but unfortunately that... — read more
Did you manage to find a new job?
After the layoff, I lost many contacts of dear colleagues with whom I worked. The year was very turbulent and I really suffered while I found a new job, but in the end everything turned out better than I had hoped. Honestly, I thought the layoff... — read more

Are things getting better?
Does it look like Seaworld is going to start calling people back any time soon? I'm worried about my brother, he still hasn't found a replacement job and is not really looking that hard since he's hoping to get that call. And I'm not really sure that... — read more

SEAWORLD MGMT IS CROOKED
I was in the Guatemala team answering calls, we were instructed directly by Seaworld and the Account Manager here not to give anyone a refund, they created a very crooked scheme where instead of cancelling orders (which would cause a refund) we had... — read more
BEC
When SEA was owned by BEC they were the bomb to work for but now that BEC no longer ownes SEA there like the bomb that exploded.
Chances of being called back?
I’ve been furloughed and the uncertainty is k–ling me whether they will call me again. What a terrible situation to be in. It seems to me that it would be mentally easier for me to bear being fired so that I know what to do next. I can’t relax at... — read more
Disappointed with peers
When the head of HR has to send a statement “strongly” advising employees to follow CDC guidelines “outside” the workplace, and I see on FB that many still are not, I get angry. It’s really disappointing. I thought the people I respected and admired... — read more
Family Passed
Do family passes still work for the relatives of an employee who been permanently laid off?
Laughs
You really think changing your postings to one day of availability will change anything? You don't think that I have every req number ever posted documented? Hilarious if you really think that hiring under false availability pretense is going to be... — read more
BGW Now Open Christmas Day
WTF is wrong with you management. Good luck manning the park...its a "Call Out Christmas".
It was time to let go
I was involved in the last round of furloughs. I knew I wasn’t going to return, knew none of us were - but in the beginning I had hope. Then that hope turned to anger, then despair, then sadness. There comes a time when you HAVE to move on because if... — read more
