2007 New Employees

Hey Josh check ur PM's ;)

Where do you park when you are a employee, is there a special pariking lot at the park? About how long does it take for someone to call you after HR has reveiwed your application? Mine was looked at on Jan. 26th.

I know we are at the park to work but how does riding the rides go. If we want to go to the park on one or two of our days off, do we have to wait in line like everyone else and can we get into the park early.

technically you can get into the park early, but you will probably want to sleep!

As far as waiting in lines, when you are not in uniform you get ZERO perks other than coming in for free, so yeah...waiting in line is a definite must.

Guests get angry when you don't wait in line and it puts a lot of people in bad positions (including yourself) when you line jump.

And you are probably going to spend a lot of your days off in the park. I know it sounds pretty lame, but there is nothing like taking a personal day to ride rides.

ps - employees park to the far right over by the space spiral and DT. first come first serve i guess....finding a spot up front is always a day brightener!

Or you can have a 12:00 or 3:00 shift in July and have to circle for 20 minutes to find anything closer than about row 33 aka next to Kinzel's house. The worst part though was going out into the parking lot 2 hours after the park has closed and your car is the only one out there and its all the way at the back of the lot :(

It's funny to watch people fight over parking spaces at times. I had one older couple that were really nice to me though when someone else was trying to steal a spot I was waiting for. They backed there car WAY up to block the other car from getting my spot. I love old people! (sometimes)

Old people in cars can be frustrating. Where I live they speed around the parking lots in the apartments, but go 5-10 mph under the speed limit out on the roads! But yeah, sometimes they can be nice when it comes to parking.

I may end up with my car there, mainly so on days that I have off I can trek down to Mansfield to visit some relatives. I may not drive to work too often even with it there.

Looked at my current status and it says that my application was reveiwed by Steve Voorhees. Anyone know who this is? Then it says that he is available at the following times, but it gives no times, I have not received a e-mail.

To answer you question JPS, Steve is the area manager for area 2 (the back of the park). Usually when he reviews applications, at least in my case, he will look at it, then call you in the next day or so, so I would expect to probably be hearing from him sometime in the next few days.

Do any of the crews ask to be roomates and can you specifically ask to room with someone you know.

how long do the interveiws last, because I will only be home for 1.5 hours tommorow since I have to go to work and friday I will not be home till late.

Interviews are usually between 15 and 20 minutes I would say. Its just the basic interview questions and talking about dates. If you miss his call, don't worry, you can always call him back and he will get back to you.

Still have not heard back fron Steve. He has not sent an E-mail and has not called. My current status still says he is available for phone interveiws, but gives no times (this was message was received on 2/7). Do you think he will call next week?

What I would do if I were you first thing Monday morning, is call Park Operations and ask if he is there.

Should I call or e-mail him, since I dont know the park operations phone number?

Check your pm for the number.

Hey everyone,

My name is chad... Newbie to cedar point employment. I submitted my application 2/10. Got back from class this morning and Steve wanted to do an over the phone interview...

He said my contract would come in the mail, but if I check online at the jobs.cedarpoint or whatever it is where I submitted my application, it gives me the option to accept my contract right away. Has anyone done this?

btw.. corkscrew team :-P

I already did it.

I finally got an e-mail today from a new person her name is Karrah Yerage. Anyone know who she is? This is the third person to look at my application, is that bad?

I believe Kerrah is the assistant manager of ride operations. Other than that, all I can say is just be patient. When I was hired this season it took over a week before i was contacted after somebody reviewed my app...

Come on now, we all remember Karrah... :)
