CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carowinds says it has hundreds of seasonal positions available and is offering a big bonus to help fill them.

The park says it has roughly 900 part-time positions available and 60 full-time positions. To help fill most of those openings, Carowinds says it is offering a $500 bonus for seasonal hires as it gears up for the 2021 season.

“Our associates play an instrumental role in delivering on our commitment to creating memorable experiences for all our guests, and in order to attract and retain those associates, we need to offer competitive wages and benefits,” says Pat Jones, senior vice president, park operations, at Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. “In particular, a seasonal job at our park can offer an exceptional growth opportunity. You can gain valuable experience in a safe environment, develop marketable skills for the future, and make new friends while being part of something truly special. Our seasonal associates have the opportunity to be rehired for jobs all the way through college and beyond, and many transition to full-time roles.”
