Former Employee – worked at ARAMARK Sports & Entertainment Group part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Worked at a stadium, had fun co-workers, people were excited for game days, decent pay for part time work. There was some down time before the games, but also some big rushes where you were extremely busy.

Cons – Management was mostly absent and rarely fulfilled request. They continually understaffed events. It can be tiring to be on your feet all day after a long week of full time work. Glad I have moved on, but it was good pay at the time.

Advice to Senior Management – I realize the bottom line is important, but being cheap often affects employee turnover and morale/ customer service in the long run. Staff events properly.

Former Employee – worked at ARAMARK Sports & Entertainment Group

Pros – You are working at the Angels Stadium so it can be a fun atmosphere. If you are a hawker you get to see some of the game as you work. Food is provided before your shift starts. Some positions provide partial benefits.

Cons – You will be working a late shift with no break for dinner. There are very little full time positions available within this company. Any job will likely add up to the equivalent of one quarter or one eighth of a work year.

Advice to Senior Management – There are people who would like to advance their careers within the company. It is probably a good idea to provide them with opportunities to advance without them having to sacrifice their benefits.

Former Employee – worked at ARAMARK Sports & Entertainment Group

Pros – I enjoyed working during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
You meet people from all across the globe.

Sometimes on game days your provided with free lunch or breakfast.

 You often have the opportunity to work other events( MotorCross, Offshore technology conference, etc.), or work at other locations(Minute Maid Park, George R. Brown Convention Center).

Annual Holiday Party; normally on the club level of the stadium. Alot of fun!

Cons – seasonal employment in my department, unless your in management.
