SeaWorld, which has struggled with declining attendance, announced it is cutting 350 positions effective today, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The company is laying off people and not refilling open positions across the company, although the cuts primarily affect its corporate headquarters and the parks in Orlando and San Diego, said Aimee Jeansonne-Becka.
Jeansonne-Becka said the cuts mostly affect administrative positions and jobs that do not deal directly with the public. The company tried to eliminate redundant jobs, such as two marketing teams that handle the same event at two different parks.
She stressed the company is still dedicated to its animal rescue and rehabilitation, which was not impacted.
SeaWorld executives had previously said their goal was to reach $40 million in net savings through 2018.
