Pros

Unlimited free visits to the park for you and a friend Discounts on many purchases at the park as well as on the admission tickets and season passes Employee parties at the park (food, rides, fun) Make great friends and meet alot of different people everyday

Cons

*Most employees especially management, do not like vendors (i.e. people working for Ben & Jerry's, Papa John's, Panda Express, etc.) - Vendors do not get to participate in Six Flags competitions, raffles, and most reward programs - Audited constantly, but rarely are praised for work done above and beyond - People literally say "Oh, you're a vendor?" (in a disgusting sort of tone) * I was a vendor and my specific company and boss were great, however I and all of my fellow vendor coworkers have experienced the rudeness and discrimination aimed toward vendors *I don't have any ill will toward the company, this is just a simple, honest review
