Pros

I worked at corporate. Loved my job, my team and my supervisor. Under CEO Mike Spanos I saw a bright future for Six Flags; he was investing in the company for the long-term and many positive changes were being made.

Cons

Unfortunately the executive board abruptly replaced Spanos in November 2021 and the new CEO Selim Bassoul laid off the majority of corporate staff including me as well as people who had been with the company 10+ years. He did this 2 weeks before Christmas and I was notified by a random man from HR via a less than one minute video call - didn't even get the chance to say bye to my team, and found out my managers and some co-workers were also let go. Since then I've heard nothing but bad things from those I know still working for the company. Those who remain are taking on all the responsibilities from those who were let go with absolutely no pay increase. New CEO is exploiting workers and I'd suggest staying far away until he inevitably gets replaced for running this company into the ground. It's really sad.

Pros

- Season Pass - The younger guests tend to treat you kindly - QuickSix (employee store) is really cheap except for energy drinks and certain food items.

Cons

- Most guests are extremely rude and do not listen - ABOMINABLE management. Inconsistent scheduling, unprofessional behavior, and not great pay for the work. - $16/hr doesn't feel great for a job that involves lots of manual labor in the sun. - Really weird hours.
