Faq
When should I expect to start working for the season?
Our season typically starts the first weekend of May. We are only open weekends until the first or second week of June. Some positions would offer Monday-Thursday setup work in the early season.
Can I work while I’m still in school?
Absolutely! We will work around your schedule. There are some hour and time requirements set by the State of Michigan for minors still attending school, but we will fill you in whenever you are available.
When does the season end?
We are open daily until Labor Day. After Labor Day we are only open weekends. We typically stay open weekends until the first weekend in October (or weather depending). Just like the spring, there are some positions that would offer weekday work in the fall.
Can you work around my sports practices?
Yes! We use a scheduling program called When to Work. You will be able to input your availability so management knows when you are available to work. Schedules are posted two weeks in advance so as long as you update your availability prior to that, you will have no problem getting hours and still making it to your practices (or any events).
