Training and certification specific to the position will be provided to ensure compliance with health standards and company policies.

Beyond typical food service duties, employees benefit from health insurance effective from day one, a robust referral bonus program, discounted access to transportation and amenities, monthly leadership-hosted meals, and various discounts across PENN’s properties. The organization fosters an environment where team members can thrive professionally through education reimbursement and scholarship programs, in addition to ongoing career development initiatives.
