Recognized for the fifth year in a row as one of the Nation’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®, Six Flags America is hosting National Scare Day on Friday, August 13 and Saturday, August 14. The park is hiring for over 200 chillingly fun positions as ghouls, performers, and special effects make-up artists. The park is also hiring a number of rewarding positions available in food service, ride operations, retail, warehousing, maintenance, and security.
