Parking
Free parking is available to employees working all events. The employee entrance for Park and Stadium staff is located on Hersheypark drive between the Sand Hill Road & Hotel Road intersections. Have your employee ID card ready for the security check upon entering.
Giant Center staff will park in the designated employee lot around the back of the Giant Center building. Please follow signs and security directions at the checkpoint booths.
Availability
The more flexible you are with availability, the better your chances at maximum hours. For example, the park is open 10am-10pm most days. The majority of operating hours will require staff to work past 5pm. Making yourself available until 5pm daily will not secure you a full schedule. We have a limited number of 9am-3pm or 10am-4pm shifts.
Time Off
Employees are not required to submit time off requests. Employees will not be scheduled to work if they have not set available days/times through When I Work. If you will be absent from scheduling to exceed a one week period, please let a manager know.
Employee ID Cards
Each employee will be issued an employee ID card during the Hiring or returning employee renewal process. Temporary ID cards and replacement cards will be issued from the Human Resources office located in the Service Center building.
ID cards are required to access property through employee areas. The ID card is company property and must be returned upon the termination of employment.
Pay Day
Our pay periods are 2 weeks long beginning on Mondays and ending on Sundays. Payroll will be processed through Direct Deposit only. Pay stubs will be emailed to the address on file for each employee.
Complimentary Tickets
Employees working designated 'ticket distribution’ pay periods will receive complimentary tickets good for the current season.
Tickets will be available on property from a Manager only, and distribution dates will be posted at the Lemon Drop Shop.
Grooming Policy and Standards
The grooming policy and standards were developed for all Jay Vending employees. The company’s professional atmosphere is maintained, in part, by the image that you, the Team Member, project to our guests. A thorough explanation of these standards can be reviewed in your employee handbook.
Pay Rates
Our pay rates are broken into 2 different categories: prep rates and vendor rates.
Prep employees are those employees working at our stationary locations such as food stands and carts. These employees are paid an hourly rate of $14.25/hour.
Vendor employees are responsible for selling product throughout the event or location in a mobile capacity. This would include vending shows and ride queue lines. These employees are paid on a commission-based scale of 3% commission on each item (4% on cotton candy) + $6.25/hour with a guaranteed minimum of $13/hour. These hourly rates most often range between $13-$20/hour.
Vendors working Giant Center or Stadium events earn a commission of 15% of sales (10% on Bottled Water).
Discounts
Employees who are off-duty and present their valid employee ID card at the point of sale, are eligible to receive the following discounts.
15% Discount on park food & beverage
20% Discount on park merchandise
25% Discount at Chocolate World
