- Safety First: Keep any eye out for Maintenance needs or safety hazards and report them to your supervisor right away.
What We're Looking For:
- Skills: Basic reading, writing, and simple math skills.
- Communication: Ability to communicate clearly with team members and guests.

- Team Mindset: Willingness to jump in, help coworkers, and keep communication open across departments.
- Flexibility: Willingness to work nights, weekends, and holidays as operational needs require.
Physical Requirements:
