I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Six Flags (Valencia, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Very easy if you are breathing, have common sense, aren’t a sleezeball or doing drugs or have criminal activity. People are nice interviewing but the interviewers are not very enthusiastic or interested in the process themselves. Need to have basic reading, extremely basic math skills of adding and subtracting for brief test on adding together dollar and change amounts if you were ever to operate a register which you don’t, if you are not going into food or merchandise anyway.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple questions of what you should do in certain situations to test your ethics, common sense, and decision making.
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.
