I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Six Flags (Saint Louis, MO) in Feb 2014
Interview
It was a job fair, me and my friend went together. When we first got there it was a few other people there and i thought we were gonna be done in a breeze. We went to the front desk and got this clipboard and paper with a few simple questions and a few very hard math questions.. or at least they were hard to me. Anyway my friend helped me with the questions haha even thogh we weren't supposed to. We turned the paper in and they had us go into this small room and wait to be called. My friend got called first and i was so nervous with this being my very first interview ever. So then i got called after her and was taken into this giant room with almost 20-30 other kids my age and a few adults sitting getting interviewed or waiting for an interviewer. Finally my first interviewer came in and he was acting like he really did't wanna be there. He didn't even try to shake my hand. So he asked me a few simple questions. Very easy but he had no soul whatsoever. Then he left and i had a second interviewer named Patrick and he was really nice. He complimented my on my attire and tie and i gave him a compliment back. and he went on to ask me some of the same questions from the first interview plus a few new ones. which were very simple. at the end he said they would call and let me know if i got the job or not. when he said that i knew i didnt get the job. I got a pink post card type letter in the mail 2 weeks later saying i didnt get the job. but my friend got hired on the spot..

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.
