Saddledome

Like the title says, stressful. While I was there, there was lots of turnover of cooks, my department was short staffed for the entirety of the time I was there. The people and sous chefs were great though and very skilled. Good place to get some experience in the industry. It's the saddledome so expect that there's definitely a boozey culture amongst coworkers. Lunch was not even free which is pretty sad as every other professional kitchen I've worked in provided a meal.

A very fun place to work, however it depends on the people you surround yourself with. Since it is such a large building you never know who you are going to be working with, and more times than not finding your floor supervisor is challenging. There are no tips on credit cards, no soliciting for tips. The building is very old and needs to be updated in order to receive tips and new payment methods. Shifts are typically short, less than 6 hours and you may take breaks. Overall it is a very laidback job. 

The Saddledome is a very fast paced working environment. We serve tens of thousands of people, each game. The management is great, and so are the coworkers. The job was actually pretty easy, and I can't think of anything to put as a difficulty. I'm a big sports fan, so the most enjoyable part was being able to listen to the game, live, and see the excitment of the fans, when our teams were doing well.

Usually you'd start 2 hours before the game time, they hired me as a bartender with no experience, started me pouring beer, and then eventually into bar tending. Management is very flexible, as are the shifts you work, customers are typically in a pretty good mood, and despite working with other people, you do a lot of the actual work independently, so its great if you like to have some freedom,  but also be around people

I worked as a vendor, then cashier in consessions, then lead (for the majority of the time), finally bartender. Straight up, you are just a number and the management doesn't care about you. Biggest thing is, they will try to fire you for messing up no matter what. The Saddledome even gives you FREE food and then tries to fire you when you take the food you were told to have for free. 

Works well with my current schedule as a high school student. Working with a lot of different crews every time, so you meet a lot of people. The hours are good and convenient, and the Saddledome is walking distance from the transit station which is nice.

Whatever you do, don't work in the concessions at the saddledome! It's a good job if you live with your parents, but trying to live by yourself with the dome job will NOT be enough. You don't get paid good at all.

I miss working with the saddledome I miss the people I work with I miss the nervousness and excitement of every shift I miss the atmosphere. The saddle dome was of light the best job ever and I really can't wait to go back

I was a student at the time and worked at The Grill, it was a great fit for me where it was flexible and I made good money. Management and the team I worked with were all great!

positive workplace best job imaginable. everyone is very happy and welcoming. always wanting to have fun. lovely customers, managers, coworkers. highly recommend
