Review from Operations Dept
Park leadership teams are so busy worrying about corporate goals and are so understaffed and underfunded that they are unable to run an effective operation. Parks are incapable of recruiting strong talent to senior leadership roles due to salary restrictions.
Recognizing the contributions of their supervisors. Instead of looking at them as a cost.
Communication and actually caring about what employees need
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Everything it's amazing can't complain
Medical insurance and holidays plus vacation
The health and employee stock programs are quite competitive. The company relies on this messaging when hiring because the salaries are low, stress is high, and the work load is extreme.
The insurance, my salary is great and provides me with the money to take care of my family.

Review from Operations Dept
Empathic leadership. Hire qualified people. Don’t put 90s phrases like “no fear” painted on the walls because you did that and it’s
Alike most 500Inc companies, Six Flags needs to develop a people-first priority. Concentrate on what makes the guest and employee happy and they will see revenue increase. Secondly, invest within the company. Parks are rundown and rides are too often down for repair. Stop worrying about SHV.
Better pay. Get rid of favouritism
Pay me more money please

Invest in parks and offer better valie
Rides aren’t open on time because there is no staffing. You don’t have staffing because the pay isn’t wor
Review from Operations Dept
Six Flags only cares about shareholder value. The board is made up of non-entertainment or hospitality experts. When CEOs are replaced, they bring in non-theme park leadership teams. Get back to basics and operate theme parks. The money will come.
Raise the prices of tickets will help lower the amout of riff raff that comes to the park
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Better team management and workshop building
