This is a non-exempt, hourly position with a competitive pay rate of $20.00 per hour. Employees benefit from comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, generous paid time off including vacation and sick leave, holiday pay, as well as meal and transportation benefits. There is also a 401(k) retirement plan with company matching, company-paid life insurance, tuition reimbursement, employee assistance programs, training programs, and opportunities for career growth. HMSHost encourages its employees to refer friends and offers a referral bonus as part of its incentives.

The company seeks individuals who enjoy working with people and are committed to providing excellent customer service while ensuring operational efficiency. This role is ideal for candidates looking to join a well-established company that values its workforce and fosters a supportive and dynamic work environment. If you are enthusiastic about hospitality and want to be part of a global brand known for professional growth and rewarding experiences, HMSHost offers you the chance to start or advance your career while making a positive impact on travelers' journeys.
