• Best thing

  Free tickets, discount on Merlin products, 30 mins unpaid break but rest paid, great team easy to make friends

  Alton Towers Employee, January 2022

• Best thing

  The team members and the benefits such as free tickets and discounts. Getting to work in such a magical environment.

  Worst thing

  Booking holidays can be hard if not booked at the start of the season. The customers can be very unfriendly at times. Fast paced environment is not everyones cup of tea.

  Alton Towers Employee, December 2021

• Best thing

  There are non its a nightmare

  Worst thing

  Overworked- often made to work longer hours then the shift was planned for, very very long hours. Staff bus timetable is ridiculous often waiting a very long time. Wasn't added to the rota spreadsheet and after asking was never informed what shifts I was on so angry managers calling asking where I was but never Informed me that I had a shift. Little flexibility on rota changes, often not asked what days I could and couldn't do. Was not payed for a couple weeks when I first joined. Summers get very hot under a glass roof-difficult working environment- managers don't seem to care about this. Staff very clique-y unwelcoming to newcomers.

  Alton Towers Employee, September 2021

• Best thing

  Out of all the best thing is that you are sociable and you get to engage. I get to work as a team.

  Worst thing

  Sometimes you get given a set job which is too much and is unfair in a way. You could have a 8 rooms to clean which another employee has 3 but you would get paid the same.
