Cedar Point Looking to Hire More Than 5,000 People For 2017 Season

This is the news that college students or anybody looking for summer work have been waiting for.

Cedar Point is looking to hire over 5,000 people for their 2017 season. Some of the jobs they'll be looking to fill include, ride operators, park operations, security, food/beverage and more.

I'm not sure what kind of pay is involved here but the gig definitely comes with some pretty sweet benefits.

Here's a list according to WNEM:

• Free admission to Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores Water Park
• Complimentary admission for friends and family
• Associate ride nights on some of the biggest and baddest rides in the world
• Discounts on food and merchandise
• Summer parties and events with music, games and prizes
• Bus trips to popular destinations around the Midwest
• An associate recreation center
• On-site, low-cost housing (if qualified)
• An unforgettable summer of fun (this one seems a bit cheesy)

If you’re looking for summer work and you're interested, you'll need to attend the park’s upcoming job fair to learn more about the positions and meet with hiring managers.

It’s taking place on Saturday, April 8 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at Castaway Bay, 2001 Cleveland Road in Sandusky.
