Actually haven't had one for a few years. They always hire that many people but they don't always do a job fair. To your point the positions that they are hiring for they do hire on the spot during byour interview.Not sure why they phrased it this way now. They have always had a yearly job fair for their seasonal/part-time positions and usually immediately hire for entry level positions both at the fair and throughout the year. I interviewed for a job over ten years ago at the park and was made an offer at AC within an hour, even with poor availability (like bad enough that they said they usually wouldn't hire someone asking for as much time off as I wanted, but they saw my passion for rides and they really needed people).
Gotcha. I haven't been at the park for a few years (yay for college and getting a better job!) so I wasn't aware that they stopped.Actually haven't had one for a few years.

Who has been denied their free parking??"to avoid paying for healthcare" being the key phrase. It's perfectly legal for large corporations to amass profits while legally avoiding providing healthcare coverage for their employees. Because it's legal, they ignore the ethics of doing so. To the people calling the shots, the concept of treating all employees as potential full time, long term, valued employees, not just seasonal disposable labor, is so foreign that it doesn't even enter their thinking. This lack of ethics has become nakedly exposed by policies enacted under COVID. It started by charging people for their memberships even when the park was closed. It continued when the clock started ticking before the park was fully open (It still isn't.) Even now they are denying parking privileges for which members have already paid. All of these are choices between ethical behavior and generating cash flow. SEAS and even BGW management continues to demonstrate that they prioritize making money over ethical behavior.
As Abigail Disney writes in The Atlantic: "For many people, especially those most deeply embedded in the culture of having and getting money, ethics are a wispy and ineffectual nuisance—an abstract set of principles that can’t possibly stand up to the rigors of life lived fast, business conducted efficiently, and competitors devoured and cast aside." "If your comfort requires that society be structured so that a decent percentage of your fellow citizens live in a constant state of terror about whether they’ll get health care in an emergency, or whether they can keep a roof over their family’s heads, or whether they will simply have enough to eat, perhaps the problem does not rest with those people, but with you and what you think of as necessary, proper, and acceptable."
But now I'm just getting philosophical.
At least it isnt bgt where if you dont get there by 1030 the preferred is full because half the preferred lot is free stroller parking now. Or alton towers where its a 1mile walk or a 30 minute monorail wait ob some days.My sister just got back from BGW and she had a horrible time due to most of the rides and eateries being closed due to staffing issues. Also she said the tram is no longer running and was forced to pay the $35.00 unless she wanted to park across the street. My family and I have gone every year to BGW and have the season tickets to all of there parks. I doubt we will return anytime soon if they continue to run their parks like this.
