Brookshire Grocery Arena values employees who contribute to a welcoming and secure environment, supporting the mission that customer service is the responsibility of every employee. While the position requires a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent and being at least 18 years old, additional qualifications such as a security license, CPR and First Aid certifications, and experience in security or customer service roles are preferred. Candidates should be willing to undergo background and drug screening as a condition of employment, reflecting the venue's commitment to safety and reliability.

The working conditions may vary, and Event Staff must be adaptable, capable of handling stressful situations, and ready to meet the demands of working in a fast-paced, public-facing role. This includes the ability to maintain composure while interacting with varied personalities and managing multiple tasks simultaneously. The arena promotes an inclusive environment and provides reasonable accommodations to enable differently-abled individuals to perform their job functions effectively.
