Centerplate Employer Reviews

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.

Inventory, customers complaints, customers refunds and scheduling of staff for concession stand (10-20 employees)

I learned how to deal with irate customers will remaining professional and resolving the issue.

Management was there when it was truly needed but most of the time it wasn't because of the training that you received before you start working.

There – more...  are some co-workers that were hard to work with but then there was others that was a pleasure.

The hardest part of the job was during the inventory alone in the 4 concession stands.

The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the people. – less

I work all charger football games .working with high end customers .

Having never been in the food/catering business it is hard for me to compaire Centerplate. Centerplate is expanding quickly and great potentioal. Centerplate's group that runs the Convention Center contract has a mixed bag of talent but excels in the food side of things.

Enjoyed working for Centerplate. Good management, fun staff.

It was a pretty fun place to work. I learned how to work with disorderly people in a calm manner and work at a very fast pace. the hardest part of working there was the numbers of hours wasn't enough. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and being able to work in a sports environment.

I inventory certain concession stands and whatever it sells is what the sales are. It's very antiquated. No computers, no cash registers. Call in supplies that are low and help with cooking.

centerplate was a good place to work and i got to watch the river cats play for free

Ran all aspects of the office. a/p a/r payroll, weekly endings, inventory. scheduling and cash management.

Fast paced,energetic,very understanding bosses,friendly staff but the hardest part is dealing with intoxicated patrons.

the job was the worst job i have ever had the managers for the most part were jerks, the pay was horrible for the amount of work we were doing, there were no benefits except for a free dinner after 5 hours of work with no breaks, the hours were horrible i was in school during my time there and they wanted me to miss 5 days of school for work and wouldnt – more...  let me get a different shift. – less

Great place to work. Managers are very helpful and always willing to help employees.

learned how to work events, be a cashier, make food, inventory, manage people

not a place to be for a long period of employment, harsh weather/slight shelter, low pay, no benefits, lousy management, no room for growth/advancment, no raises, poor equipment.

I would work for Centerplate again if given the opportunity

my job was the most important because I worked the cashier so I had to make sure everything and everybody was ready when gates opened. it feels good to be a leader.

Company just starting out, good leadership. Unsure if company still exists
