Now hiring Party Hosts to join their team, CEC offers opportunities for first-time job seekers as well as those interested in building an exciting career. Party Hosts are central to making every event memorable, keeping the fun at high gear by preparing party areas, setting up tables, taking orders, attending to guests, and ensuring the birthday child has an exceptional experience.
