They just announced their spring job fair on IG. Up to $14/hour? No wonder they have staffing issues. Who would sign up for that? Up to 14 probably means $10-$11 for basic level and $14 for experience. I could get $15 a lot of places and be indoors.
I guess we can expect another year of hit or miss operations. Not sure how long SEAS can pull off this penny pinching, but they are certainly making a best effort.
If they wanted to keep staff there’s a thing called ‘positions starting at $___.___’
The individual job postings list the actual starting pay per position.
Ride Ops: $11
Dining Ambassadors: $11
Shop Clerks: $11
Parking Attendants: $11

Does the free single day ticket include early Pantheon access?

I wonder if BGW is possibly running into the same issue that we currently have at work of out of state corporate people pushing want is currently unrealistic starting pay for the area cause they can't grasp that the local job market is vastly different then where they are located.
I agree with that sentiment about pay, but this is SEAS at a park opening a major coaster and is a year round park. They aren’t going to be hurting for change anytime soon.
Honestly I want to know when the hiring cut off for early employee rides is. I mean I could probably swing a second job for a month or two if I got an early ride.Does the free single day ticket include early Pantheon access?

If BGW is offering $11 a hour that is crap. $11 a hour is minimum wage. They can’t offer any lower than that.
They should be offering at least $2-$3 above minimum wage to get a substantial amount of applicants

Especially with the Mickey D’s down the street paying more
The Wendy’s down the street from my house has a sign saying “starting pay $11/hr”. Actually advertising that is foolish. They can’t hire any lower than that for goodness sake!
I am curious how many potential employees are not aware of the relatively recent minimum wage increases?
Not to date myself too much, but I believe even only a few years ago when I last worked a stint in retail it was under $8/hr minimum so getting anything over that was great.
