Michrollercoast Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Hi, I am a current Cedar Point employee, but am looking at PKI in future seasons. Can anyone fill me in on the employee housing and the pay and other what nots? Quote
TRTR Guy Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 No employee housing, ride ops start off at $6.50 Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Wow, where do you live. I'm going to start working at pki this season. From what I heard it is Fun. There are many people on this site that i'm sure will fill you in. Quote

Michrollercoast Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 I'm majoring in Theme Park Management so I want a lot of experience, but I may jsut stay in Cedar Fair and try to work my way up. Quote
TRTR Guy Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Didn't know theme park management was a major. Quote
TheKlockster Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah - didn't Siebert have to major in something else like Electronic Media or something obsure to land his job? Oh well - guess it depends on the college. Quote
Alien Seed Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 As far as I can tell, a college education in business or something else like that looks good on the resume, but it's far from being required. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Wow, soon enough there will be a major for washing car's. It is good that there are more subjects in collage to major in. This is a first, I have never know that there was one like that. Quote
TRTR Guy Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 For the most part the higher ups at PKI/ Paramount Parks are business majors. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Were getting a bit . For info on jobs at pki you should go to pki's website. www.pki.com Quote

BoddaH1994 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I'm majoring in Theme Park Management so I want a lot of experience, but I may jsut stay in Cedar Fair and try to work my way up. That's great! I know of a school in Florida that offers a similar program. Where do you go? Quote
Ben Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I would rather work at Cedar Point. Kings Island would be fun to work at though. Quote
HabloRM Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I like the housing option that CP has, I think that would be neat if we had that at our park. Quote
Ben Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I like the housing option that CP has, I think that would be neat if we had that at our park. My point exactly. Quote
Vortex Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 If Kings Island had housing I would have worked their in the late 80s to 1994. Quote
HabloRM Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Well I'm hoping that they do the housing option, since they're building a new hotel. Quote
FOFzySUPer Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Do know how much gas that would save me? I drive 45 minutes there and back everyday during the summer. I fear I will fall asleep driving home one of these days. Quote
TheRickster Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Ive heard cp's housing policy is kinda weird. They control alot of stuff like what time you have to be in your house by etc. Its just what I've heard though. Also Cedar Point employee's get paid ALOT less because of the housing. Their sup's are pki's starters pay at $6.50. Quote
emonun Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I love PKI, if you really want to know what work is like, I would have to say for all the complaining I might of done it was an awesome expirience at KI. Also I think that last year was an exception to the rule. I encourage you to work at KI because it is a good environment with a lot of different people that usually all get along. Maybe i'm niave but I saw little to almost no cliqage (is that a word) and we all mostly got a long. Your either greatly loved or greatly hated at the park. Few are hated though because its all just about being an easy going or at least a normal or slightly off kilt person when you work there. Quote
