Centerplate Employer Reviews

center plate was a fun place to work and a great exercise i got to meet all the baseball player and win free tickets and even watch the game when i was done with my work

Centerplate is a provider of food & beverage Its a great company to work for it was a job that I didn’t want to leave I started off as a manager at one of their venue at a baseball stadium, I loved waking up and going to my job I learned new things every day, I had the best General Manager and coworkers they felt like family to me. We would get our – more... job done but still have fun doing it. I would still be there if I could but I recently just moved to the San Diego area because my husband had got a job offer out here. I came out here without having a job lined up for me but since centerplate has so many Venues. I actually was able to get a part time job at one of their locations. It’s only for game day events so I am hoping there will be an opening to move up to full time position. Through working for centerplate I have gained much more knowledge, experience and confidence in what I do. – less

great personalities amongst employees and a lot of overtime. great being able to watch football and baseball games

I love my co-workers their awesome. We joke, laugh but we get our duties/work/job done!! I literally learn something new everyday. From data entry to scanning and faxing. The hardest part about my job is prepping for the football games and/or events that take place here. My most enjoyable part of my job is once the season end and we get a nice break – more... from Jan-April and once we come back its nice to see all my co-workers that I havent seen in 2-3 months. It gives us time to miss each and then time to catch up with one another after returning. – less

A typical day at work consists of a lot of team effort with the people I work with. The stand has about 5 or 6 workers at a time we all contribute in many different ways. The management staff that I do know are pretty cool and laid back. The hardest part of the job to me is sometimes dealing with the disrespect from the customers. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job is dealing with the customers who are regulars and hearing compliments about our service. – less

It's a great place to work at......, when i there i enjoy two thing about this job....., one: i get watch baseball game and second: I enjoy taking care od my clients...., and since i been there the manager and staff we all work together and get along very well...., So this type of company that i like working for and hopefully i would the same here working – more... with staff and clients there too. – less

My work day starts with me stocking food, changing kegs and making snaked such as; popcorn, pretzel and nachos.

I enjoy working at centerplate. I have learned quite a bit in the year I've been here. My manager is a great guy who continuously teaches me in our field, and I appreciate that. Through working here, I have gained much more confidence in what I do, I know for sure I have excelled at my title and always go above and beyond. The hardest part about my – more... job is during the height of the busy season and having to get everything accomplished and closed by week-end with all the obstacles that come into play. The most enjoyable part of my job is that we're all in it together, so we understand everyone is going through the same thing just from a different point of view and we laugh it off together. – less

A typical day at work is getting to work two hours before the show starts, setting up the stands and putting away the fresh food, having food ready for pre-show and during intermission.

I've learned how to work in a fast paced environment and selling skills.

I love my manager, though she can be a little scatter-brained at times.

My co-workers are – more... amazing. All very friendly and helpful.

Hardest part of the job is keeping up with everything. Every single item that was sold and having to make a record of it at the end of intermission.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to listen to whatever show is going on, whether is be a concert or a broadway show. – less

Overall working with Centerplate at the Indianapolis Zoo was great. it was when I went to work at the LORP is when it went downhill. I wasn't getting paid when I was supposed to for working there but I was getting paid on time for the zoo.

Fun place to work get to do and learn alot of different things

a typical day is to make sure I have everything i need for my stand

Talked to many American throught the US about diffrent things as I were conducting surveys.

I learned how they felt about a product or weather it was a political survey.

Management was management.

It wasn't hard just that sometimes we had to make sure we meet a quota.

You get to meet different people. I learned how to give great customer service. How to fix problem on the spot. I learned how to be a leader when needed.

No matter what position you work in you will love it. The pay isn't great but the experience is great. You cant watch the events but sometimes you do meet celebrities and other famous figures. However, it is a senoirity based company so advancement opportunies are hard to come by.

Strong growth environment,career advancements are achievable, great training programs

I enjoyed working for centerplate. The only complaint that I do have is that I didn't see any room for advancement within the company.

I would leave right after school at 3pm and finish around midnight, sometimes 1am. When I first arrived I had to take inventory and start to prepare the food. After the day was done, I had to take inventory again, clean up, and take the money down to the office before I left. My co-workers are very helpful and easy to work with. Our team work allows – more... us to get everything down in a timely fashion while pleasing our customers. The hardest part is trying to maintain hot food on demand without shortage and keeping our workplace clean. The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with the customers while serving them. – less

The hardest part about this job is only working when the Tampa Bay Rays are in town. So we can go from working 8 days straight, to having 8 days off. If you love sports and love being in a sports environment, Tropicana Field is perfect. Centerplate is responsible for concessions and merchandise.

A typical day at work is fun. I get to meet interesting Gamecock fans and sports fanatics. There is no age limit of the people I work around and cater to. My co-workers, managers and supervisors keep me smiling through-out the day. We are of all different age groups yet we have grown a bond somewhat like a family.
