They underpay us...there is something that any former employee couldn't have told you...
but as we will all agree, it isn't always about the pay (although I will say that no one has gone through working there and not complained about the pay...I actually just got finished having a conversation with someone about this exact subject) Cedar Point is a job that you do because you love to do it, not because you have nothing else to do, not because you would be "home bored off your rump" otherwise; you do it because you love rollercoasters, or you love CP in general, or you do it to see the looks on the kids faces when they get off their first "big" ride; you do it to know all the ins and outs of the worlds greatest amusement park, you do it for 19 hour days without a break or for a 100 hour work week when you didn't know there were only 168 hours in a entire week (...well that week you did it for one hell of a paycheck!), you do it because running through the summer spectacular with four cash boxes and 5 seconds in the show left is fun, you do it for credits, big bash, the end of the year bonus that the government makes sure you never see, and cheesy "pickle for a nickel" and "pump number" videos (foods people are you with me?), getting soaked in thunderstorms, watching trash get sucked out of a dumpster only days after you saw your first water spouts. You do it because big blue trucks are fun to drive, halloweekends are cool, and every third monday doesn't suck as bad as the other two (MACHO NACHOS). You do it because getting on the "wall" is cool (until you see the picture and then you eat at Stockade for the week), because someone always needs ones and quarters, and because there is always a party going on somewhere at CP! You do it because five years down the line when you think of how far you've gotten you think about that first day that you worked at Stockade and went home crying because you never wanted to go back to that place, not even as a guest????? ??? ????? ? ?????? ?????? ???? ??? ??????? ???? ??? ?????? ???? ?????? ??? ???? ?????? ???? ???? ?????? ???? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ???????? ??? ??? ?????????? ?? ? ?????????????? ?? ????? ??? ? ?????? ????? ??? ?????? ?? ???? ???? ???? ????? ????? ??? ???? ???? ?? ??? ???? ???? ?? ?? ???? ???? ??? ????????? ???? ??? ???? ????? ???? ?????? ???? ?? ???? ???? ?????????? ?? ?? ??????? ???? ??? ???? ?? ????? ?????? ??? ?????? ??????? ??????? ?? ?????? ???? ??? ???? ????? ?? ????? ??? ??????? ????? ?? ????? ?????? ??? ? ??? ??????????? ???? ??? ???? ???? ? ?????? ???? ???? ???? ??????????????? ???????????
