Spring can’t be too far away if Cedar Point has begun hiring for the season. The amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, about a three-hour drive from Port Huron, is recruiting seasonal workers.
Pay starts at $15 per hour for most positions. The amusement park is looking for custodial staff, food and beverage service, hotel staff, ride operators, and skilled trade maintenance staff.
But for seasonal workers, the main attraction is not the paycheck, but the experience. Employees get perks like discounts, rewards, a free bus pass to get around the park, and free admission.
Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point said, “On the surface, the benefits and wages are great; but on a deeper level, the connections with new friends from around the world, interactions with guests, experiences to last a lifetime and the park’s breathtaking setting make this the best place to work.”
Cedar Point is planning to hire around 6,500 seasonal workers. Opening day is May 7th.
