How we dress for work

How we work and how we rest
We start working from 9-10 am in most of the parks. Being late is very undesirable, but if it happens and you have been waiting for a train, metro or bus for 35 minutes instead of 3 minutes, please notify the team leader and be in touch. Make sure you are available on weekends and holidays because these will be your working hours!
Let's talk about vocation!
- It is indeed important to take not of the main holiday period for your region. Leave during these periods is not preferred and won’t always be honored.
- Student/ Flex contracts: no direct leave, discuss holidays always with you teamleader and team.
- MiniJob (DE): paid out in full at the end of your contract.
- Parttime/ Fulltime contracts: dependant on country and type of contracts. Contact your teamleader or Sean for more details.
How we take a break

Sometimes it can get really busy in the parks, but we do prioritise our break time. Give yourself a rest in our canteen rooms, make new friends, change your focus and then get ready for another part of your day refreshed!
And outside of work
Over more than 30 years, we have developed several traditions that we are particularly fond of.
We also enjoy board games, barbeques, workshops, yearly gatherings for more staff activities! Should you have an idea of a fun activity to hold with your colleagues? Let us know and we will make sure to add it to our list! Send a message on our idea.email.com!!!!!
