Welcome to Morey’s Piers – Where Your American Summer Begins

Imagine starting every shift with the sound of roller coasters roaring overhead, the smell of fresh funnel cake in the air, and the Atlantic Ocean just steps away. As an Admissions Team Member at Morey’s Piers, you’ll be the very first face guests see when they arrive at one of the most iconic amusement destinations on the East Coast of the United States.

  • Answering questions about ride heights, park hours, pricing, promotions, and attractions
  • Scanning tickets and managing guest flow at park entrances
  • Keeping your work area clean, organized, and well-stocked with brochures and maps

Off the clock, you’ll find a genuine summer paradise: swimming in the Atlantic, sunset volleyball, boardwalk pizza and saltwater taffy, live music, and a huge community of international students from all over the world. Philadelphia is about a 90-minute drive away, Atlantic City is just up the coast, and New York City and Washington, D.C. are easy weekend trips.
