Everywhere is hiring. How the hell do they think they will be able to hire 700 near minimum wage workers when you can make more sitting on your arse?

Is the ability to swim a requirement? If so, they might find 70 employees.

Not even minimum wage, it’s 50% minimum wage because it’s seasonal. They give a bonus at end of summer if you stay entire summer.

Things that won't happen:

1) Gal Gadot allowing me to put my penis in her
2) Faster than light travel
3) Blue Bayou hiring 700 employees

Or their terrible wages.

Or their history of dangerous lack of maintenance

Or their lax sanitation policies

Good luck with unemployment going around. Many small businesses are suffering(even though they aren’t small)

No shite. Someone mentioned a lack of maintenance... That place should be polished and greased at a top notch level with 700 employees.

Those 700 employees are kids (lifeguards, food, etc). They have no maintenance skills. The maintenance crew is about 20, that work year round, and most of those are just laborers.

They won’t come close to half of that number. There is a gluttony of open skilled and unskilled labor jobs available right now for much better pay

When they had Fun Fair Park, they paid $2 when minimum was $2.10.

I never went to Blue Bayou when I lived in BR but I assume it’s twice as disgusting as I imagine

ETA: Also 700 seems like a lot…

How is that legal?

Seasonal pay. Very legal, shitty, but legal.

And from what I understand, to get the bonus, you gotta work to the end of the season, and you can only miss a certain amount of days. So if you go on a week+ family vacation, you are screwed.

They are not hiring people that can file for unemployment. They are trying to hire 15 year olds.
