Our shifts are NOT flexible, meaning if you are unable to work the entire shift, we are unable to hire you.

Seasonal Position Info:

·Yes! We do often convert our high-performing seasonal employees to regular status, these decisions are based on business demands and performance.

·Seasonal positions are not eligible for benefits; however, you do get to participate in our employee discount perk and it's a good one!

·AM Shift: May begin up to 1 hour earlier than the standard start time
