Want to work somewhere so popular that its customers are willing to drive a long way for?  How about a place where people love to come and leave with a smile?  Ever joined a company that annually earns TripAdvisor’s Excellence Award?  Great!  But, be prepared to tell us why we should hire you among the many who apply.

We expect a lot from our employees:

excellent customer service, friendly interaction, and attention to detail for five to nine hours.  If you’re looking for any old job to earn a few bucks and requires no enthusiasm – look elsewhere!  You have to deliver the goods here.  You’re actually expected to smile, ask customers if they need help, and know the answers to their questions.  Don’t worry – we’ll train you, but you’re here to help guests have fun and send them home with quality products.  Let’s make people happy, together!
