FAQs


All |

Why are most of your job openings seasonal?

Cedar Fair parks operate seasonally on schedules that match the regional travel patterns of our guests. Therefore, we need more staff during busy travel times such as summer months, weekends, and holiday seasons. The only exception is Knott’s Berry Farm, which operates year round.

Do I need a resume to apply?

Many of our positions do not require a resume to apply.

How do I apply?

We want to provide as many options as possible to make it easy for you to apply. You can choose to apply with a New Resume/CV or with a social media profile such as LinkedIn or Facebook. The application will pull information from these sources for you to review for accuracy. You can also opt to complete the application without using either of these functions.

What if I am unable to complete my application in one sitting? Can I save it?

Absolutely! You can choose to save your application at any point by clicking the “Save for Later” option at the bottom of the online application.

How do I get back to my application?

You will be asked to create a username and password at the beginning of the application process. You will use this information to log back in to complete your application, as well as to monitor the status of your application. We recommend storing your username and password in a safe place for easy access.

Will I receive confirmation that my application/resume was received?

You can log back in at any time to view your “applicant dashboard” which will indicate that your application has been received.

What if there are no positions currently listed or available that I am interested in?

If the job you seek is not currently available, you can save your search settings as a “Job Agent.” Setting up a Job Agent will allow us to send you an email every time a new opening matches your search criteria.

After I have applied, when can I expect to hear from someone?

Upon applying, your application is directed to the hiring team. They will review your application as quickly as possible. You can always check the status of your application by logging in to your applicant dashboard.

How many interviews can I expect?

For seasonal positions, it is most common to expect one phone interview and one in-person group interview. However, some positions or applicants may require additional follow-up interviews. All leadership and year-round positions require an initial phone interview and a number of in-person interviews.

Do associates get free admission to the park?

Yes! You can enjoy free use of all rides and attractions in your “off” time by presenting your Associate ID at any Admission Entrance. Associates must be off duty, and out of uniform, when enjoying rides or attractions.

Do associates get free admission to other Cedar Fair parks?

Yes! When visiting another Cedar Fair location, you can use your Associate ID to be admitted to the park. Depending on the park, you may first have to stop at Guest Services (located at the front gate) to get a ticket with your Associate ID. Free admission is not available to Castaway Bay in Sandusky, Ohio

How many hours will I work?

Work shifts vary by job and by park operating schedules, which are based on the travel patterns of our guests. Some shifts can be as short as 4 hours, while others can be as long as 12 hours.

How flexible are the schedules?

We can be very flexible with our opportunities. You can choose to join us in Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter or all year long. You can work weekdays, weekends or both – with as many or as few hours as you want. Let us know how we can meet your needs for a fun job that you will love!

How often do I get paid?

Associates are paid bi-weekly.

Is direct deposit available?

Yes! Associates have the option of directly deposited their checks at most U.S. banks. If you do not currently have a bank account, you will provided with a Paycard.

Is it true that you have associate housing?

It depends on the park. Low-cost, on-site housing is available for associates ages 18 and up who work with us at Cedar Point, Dorney Park, Kings Dominion, Kings Island or Valleyfair. Contact the local park Human Resources team for more information.
