I applied on a Thursday and got an email and a voice-mail on Saturday with a date and time and a place to meet. The interview was at a court house and I got there exactly at the right time but there were hundreds of people already in line for the interview. We were supposed to bring our invitation and when we got to the desk with it we showed it to them and they crossed your name off. We watched a few videos in a waiting room till names were called. First there was a group interview then the group played a game called jenga (learn to play so you can teach others if they don't know) after they saw how we worked together a few people we asked to a second interview with which department you wanted to go in to. After the interview they sign your paper if you got it and then you go down stairs where you get more info.
Depending on how desperate they'll be, they'll just immediately hire you on the spot through email when you apply. No phone screening or anything. Took me about a week to hear back. I applied in the spring.
Interview simple, will work you hard for low pay, especially when the weather is hot. But just normal questions, as in making sure ypi’re prepared and alert for the position at hand
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Six Flags (Santa Clarita) in Aug 2025
Interview
Quick and easy, I stumbled through my words and they still let me on through. Most important thing is availability, which I unfortunately didn’t meet. But if they have slots available, you’re ambulatory or even in you have a pulse, they’ll take you.
