I NEED HELP..

I'm a chick, I' will be starting at Cedar Point for the first time in mid April and I have no idea what to expect when I get there.
I'm also hoping to meet cool people to room with or whatever before I get there.
Also,what is the average pay like a week?Would you say the work and experience is worth it?Is the food in the cafiteria really cheap?
Are there bathrooms in each room or is it a floor shared bathroom?
Please tell me as much as you possibly can.I want to feel ok about arriving and working here.
btw-They put me in accomodations..blah..anyone ever worked in accomodations?

A lot of these questions have been answered numerous times, so you should be able to get a good answer to everything just by reading some past forums.

Average pay / week really depends on where you're working. You can work 40-60 hours or more per week, so you do the math.

Work and experience is definitely worth it, providing you have the right attitude. Sure it's just another job, where you're working in slave-like conditions, 6 days a week, in 90+ degree weather, but you also have to remember you're working in one of the greatest amusement parks in the world with a lot of really great people from all over the world. The friends I've made and the experiences I've had far make up for the Open to Close shift days when it was so humid, it felt like I was swimming through the air.

Food in the cafeteria is over-priced for it's quality in my opinion. It's really not that great, and it may seem like there's quite a selection at first but you'll quickly get tired of it all. The daily entree is nice, but there are really only a couple good ones like Macho Nachos, and Chicken Alfredo, and those don't seem to show up very often. Again this is just my opinion.

As far as bathrooms go, it depends where you live. If you live in the Commons Apts. you will have two bathrooms in your apt. to share with 15 other people. If you live in the Commons dorms, you will have 1-2 large bathrooms to share with your entire floor. On-point housing is community bathrooms as well. If you live in Bayside, you will have one bathroom to share with up to 8 or 9 people depending on the size of the apt.

I hope I've answered your questions! I've never worked in accomodations, so I can't give any insight on that. :)

I would say the work and experience is worth it. There are very few people that will say i'm wrong about that but everyone has there own opinion. The cafe is cheaper than it is out on the midways, but yes its nice you can eat for about $5. The apartments have the bathroom in the apartment and the dorms have a community bathroom. You will make alot of the friends this summer. I suggest going to alot of the esd events and hang out at louies ever so often. I personally feel this is one of the best jobs I have ever had. There are days that hard but you will have that anywhere and every where you work.

Hey ceda, I'm working in accomodations also. I'm going to be the telephone operator in hotel breakers. I'm coming April 25, hey maybe we can be roommates. When are you coming, and what will your job be in accomodations? This is also my first year at Cedar Point.

You can have the most "prestigious" seasonal job in the park (as if there was such a thing) and still have a bad experience if you're on a bad crew. Don't knock your job until you meet the people you'll be working with -- trust me, it makes all the difference.
