Palace Entertainment strengthens its leadership team with new Director of Engineering and Maintenance
Amusement Today: Palace Entertainment, a leading leisure park operator with more than 20 major entertainment venues across the United States and Australia, today announced the appointment of Michael Reitz as Director of Engineering and Maintenance across all Palace Entertainment venues.
The subject of this article is not necessarily newsworthy, but it did make me think about what it means to be a senior executive in a company, and how desirable of a job that would actually be. I feel like whatever organization you work in, the higher up you move the less fun things you get to do. Something that I find really interesting about theater is that generally the department head, who is the most senior person in a department, is the one who is figuring things out and doing the engineering of making stuff work. I want to be careful as I choose a career path in an industry such that I find advancement in my career while still being able to do interesting work. I think that I am capable of managing other people and taking the lead on a project, but I really really don’t want my entire job to be that of an administrator. I want to work hard but I want to be doing work I love, and being an administrator is not that.
