Customer service is a priority, and the company seeks energetic, enthusiastic individuals who can contribute positively to the guest experience. Beyond the immediate job duties, employees have access to a variety of benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, a 401(k) retirement savings plan, scholarships, and employee discount programs.
