If you want to work at a Six Flags Theme Park for the 2011 season, It would be in your best interest to submit an application via http://sixflagsjobs.com before the end of this week. It would also improve your chances to find out when and where the job fair will be held for your local park.

I got hired as a ride operator at SFMM this year. Still waiting to be scheduled for training though. You would think a park would want to pay their ride ops better, they have a lot of responsibility.

This isn't my first job and I realize companies will pay there employees as little as they can get away with. My point is ride ops are responsible for thousands of lives every day, but the guy in the Porky Pig costume gets paid more. It just doesn't make sense, then again what does anymore besides a cashier.

Ride Operators are among the 10 LOWEST paid jobs in the US on average with EMTs. Go figure.
