Worse place I’ve ever visited from rides being closed to construction everywhere to very dirty and grounds are terrible, garbage everywhere to expensive food and nothing is organized company lost billions of dollars last year and got bought out cause of being bankrupt, also they treat there employees like crap. DONT WORK THERE DONT GO, used to work there and got singled out every time for doing nothing was promised 32 hrs got 19, would never step foot at six flags Jackson again never gave me a fair opportunity, HR is run by kids and when you did something wrong you would sign a piece of paper not have a conversation, enjoying working for kids, Batman is closed due to structural issues, Worst experience I’ve ever had working there and would never go back to the park
