Title: Getting a job at Six Flags?
Post by: cboe on February 14, 2010, 04:22:05 AM
I was thinking about getting a job at Six Flags, but as I was doing an application on their site, I found out that they do not tolerate at all facial piercings (for guys).

I'm a dude with an ear lobe piercing (if I were a chick it would be ok) and they do not tolerate this?

Would this kill my chances of getting employed even if it is just a mere, darn black stud?

Remove the "ear lobe piercing" while at work?
I've seen workers with tattoos that have them covered up with either makeup or bandages.

They actually don't tolerate  facial piercings for women either. It has to be taken out, and they don't allow clear studs.

The business world in general doesn't approve of piercings and tattoos, except for simple female ear piercings. Corporate amusement parks tend to be very conservative with their dress code.

If it's an ear piercing, then it's no big deal. Having a piercing won't disqualify you from anything. If you get a job at the park, you just have to remove it while working and that's it, just like a facial piercing. The only difference between the ear and facial piercings are that ear piercings may have clear plugs placed in them while working to keep them open where facial piercings (including tongue) may not.

LOL I forgot about Tweety.
I was actually talking about some of the entry gate people that had large bandages on their neck to cover the tatoos.  It looked pretty bad.
