vortexdemon05 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Someone told me that when he called about the rehire packets that they said that ALL RETURNERS have been scratched off so the would have to go threw the hire process to get the job back. If they did here are some things that would mess up 1. Sups, Crew leaders exc. 2. Returner’s 3. # of Employees in the park Did anyone else that earned rehire status find this out? if this is true when are they going to tell people? But I also wonder if the only people who earned rehire where the people who finished out the season. But if any of this is true how would u react if you are/were a returner wanting rehire status?

The Interpreter Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have NO idea if this is true, but the park HAS changed hands. They may well not honor rehire status that was issued by its predecessors. Given the difficulty of recruiting for most lower level positions in the park industry in 2007, it would surprise me if this is true, though.

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I worked to the end of October and I have not been mailed a rehire packet (yet). Last season, we had our rehire packet mailed by now and I hope they do not change the format. I will contact my manager and see what the deal is.

Snake Attack! Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 ^ At least you got the opportunity to get one! I worked over 650 hours and they never even came to me to offer one or get a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the oppurtunity, took it, had money taken out of his check and has not received anything in return. I have not seen one yet either. I do not know what happened. It would have been better to not pay anyone anything and not receive anything then to pay for something you never get. I think Combat wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Last year most returners did not get the packet till January, but that was because of Winterfest. I hope Rehire still happens. And yes Combat, I also want my Yearbook or my money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spngbob Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I received some rehire stuff for foods.. You have to fill out an application online (I did the same thing last year) Management names are changing to match Cedar Fair Crew Leaders : Assistant Team Leaders Supervisors : Team Leaders Head Sups : Assistant Supervisor Area Manager : Supervisor Also you have to be 18 to be a 'team leader' As for the logo, the Cedar Fair style logo is for sure only temporary. I forget the rest off hand.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yeah I paid for a yearbook in July, and asked about when do we get them. All I heard was they mail it on your last day, well my last day was Nov 10 and no yearbook?? I remember last year I got the rehire packet in mid to late January, if I don't get it by then. Then I'll start to get concerned. And yeah spngbob, last year I remember there was some kind of online thing to fill out to I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris You have to apply online, and then it's up to the department you apply for to hire/rehire you. Pretty much the same it's always been, with the exception of sending out masses of rehire packets (which acttually weren't sent out last year either).

Gordon Bombay Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (which acttually weren't sent out last year either). Uh, I dont know what your talking about I have a folder I keep all my finances in and tax forms and paperwork and such and I still have envelope that was mailed to me last year with my notification of what crew I was placed on and what my wage would be as well as an app. to fill out there and mail in and online directions. So yes, rehire packets were sent out last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Was looking at today's press release about hiring and it looks like the "Casting Office" is now simply the "Hiring Office" Looks like another change indicating the Best of Hollywood Entertainment has left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I recieved my rehire packet in January and we filled out the online application and sent back the forms that HR included. I also have not recieved my year book either. For that matter, all operations associated were promised a Best Buy gift card if we worked a certain amount of shifts in August, and the fall. So far I have not even received it and was told it would all be sent out at the end of the season. MIke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortexdemon05 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 i found out that they have indeed sent out only food and games so far next will be Rides. no word on the yearbook. Chris Ps Rehire is still there i dont know what that one person said but they are in the prosess of sending them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have not even received it and was told it would all be sent out at the end of the season. MIke Not ALL operations was promised a Best Buy gift card, it varied by dept. For example, in rides we received end of the year awards depending on how many hours we put in during "post season". So the more you put in, the more rewards you could get. None of the 4 a ride employee coudl get were a best buy gift card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I just read on the pki4fun.com web site that the 2007 hiring packet will soon be available. It sounds like we (KI returners) should be receiving our rehire packet soon. Will wait and see... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 On that post season rewards thing, I got just about everything but the gas cards. Hay guess how much was on the card?? 10 dollors lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The dollar amount on the Best Buy card was $10 or $20 depending on the number of shifts were worked. This was an incentive for people to stay and work shifts in the fall. I still miss the $1/bonus per hour worked if you worked until the end of the season. I wish CF would bring that back.

The Interpreter Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Perhaps mutedarkness can share with us what incentives Geauga Lake pays to ops who work the entire season....and anyone an op at Cedar Point? Or a Six Flags park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkitrumpet08 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Online application this year was the same as last year. Ive worked in games for 2 years, going on 3 and its been the same deal every year. And you see all associates get terminated at the end of every year, even AM's and upper managers. Therefore it is necessary to 'reapply' so to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 My son just got a letter from KI and said everyone has to re-fill out a hire application this year and in the comments section mention if you were a crew leader or above.... so we will see what happens, i am calling today since they are open...

cewldre Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Well, I went and filled out an application yesterday. Yes, a whole application and I was in games and a manager. So, it seems everyone is filling out all the paperwork this year. Not like it takes a long time to do it. Funny thing was though, I have already been placed but they wished me good luck during my interview process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
