Pros
Because it's fun working with a team and it's a pleasure to put smile on peoples faces
Cons
Because once you make one simple mistake, they won't give you a chance and they will fire you so make sure you doing everything correctly because they don't mind getting rid of you and hiring someone else in a heartbeat. Like i was an Rides Supervisor and i made a small mistake while i wasn't clocked like not clocked in at all and they fired me because of it like really make sure you doing everything is like dream... company have to have everything correct and perfectly at all times ...

Pros
Can work there at 16 years old. Get a lot of hours. Discount on food, free pass.
Cons
short breaks, managers don't care, long hours
Advice to Management
Give time for associates to get to the break area when they work across the park. For females, allow them to carry a small bag for the time of the month.

Pros
The free park tickets are cool It’s a fast paced environment with a ton of people
Cons
I was sexually harassed here, i told HR and full time managers, yet they just fired the employee and tried to ban him they did do everything in their power but, he came to the park the next week and i had a panic attack when i saw him. Corporate Cedar Fair said my issue wasn’t enough to ban him from the park. So if you are a young bright female, do NOT work here or let any other females. This company will not... protect you from predators. They expect you the give your LIFE to carowinds. So don’t expect ever to see your family or take vacations. There is so much drama especially with the full time managers. The food department is toxic.

Protect your employees when they are attacked. Put more protection in the parking lot. Don’t be so strict about availability, it’s obvious you’re short staffed so don’t turn away people who could be good employees simply because they can’t work that much.
