I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Six Flags (San Antonio, TX) in May 2012
Interview
Went online and filled out the application. At the end of the application process it gives you a phone number and tells you to call and schedule an interview. Called and scheduled the interview...interview was about a week later. A few hours before the interview was supposedly scheduled I called to get directions to the employment center and the guy on the phone said there were no interviews scheduled for that day. So instead he said to come back the next morning at 10. Once I got there the next day the rest of the interview process was great. Desk staff were really funny and make you feel completely at ease....you're required to review your online application to check for mistakes, then take a simple math test without a calculator (basic problems like "If a costumer buys something for 5.37 and pays with a 20 how much change do you give them?) after that the interviewer will call you in...very simple and basic general questions, then they will pull out the ride op questions which are also very easy...then the interview is over, in my case they said they would call me when a position became available. They called a week later and offered me a job and now I have to go in to finish the final paperwork.

Question 1
What would you say to a customer who complains of long lines?
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.
