Centerplate Employer Reviews

I enjoyed working for this company, it was a fun experience being able to interact with patrons and customers for football games and special events. Most importantly they gave us free food!

Great place to work with a lot to learn from everyone at the job. There are many skilled employees that can teach different life/job experiences. The best part of the job is also the hardest part. Game day is filled with fast passed food firing and segregation, but at the end of the long firing process a sense of accomplishment is felt. To be able to – more... feed 3,000 people during a sporting event is a experience like none other. At this job I learned more of the leadership and management aspect than any new cooking skills. The ability to hone my skills in Southwest cuisine has given me an edge for menu building in the region of the United States I am living in. – less

Worked concession at the FedEX field for the Washington Redskins during the 2010- 2011 season. Learned nothing.

Had lots of fun moments. Work very fast pace at times but was fun.
Great customer service and quality food service.

The job itself was generally good but the management treated the regular employees like dirt.

nice place most of the management was learning on the job no way to upgrade your position there accept from Head cook to manager not very much work until you get a rush employees were pretty young most still in school mostly standing behind a counter waiting for a order was the hardest part nice co workers was the best part I learned the high paced – more... life of fast food in numerous porportions – less

You set tables, polish silverware and glass, serve food and drinks and break everything down. Its pretty much as easy and as complicated as that. Most of the management are great to work for though some can be a bit harsh where they needn't be. The hardest part of the job its lifting heavy trays, you really have to have a strong back and good balance – more... for this. You get to meet a lot of interesting people, whether it be your co-workers or your guests. Its a fun job, sometimes your breaks can be really long, and you get fed! – less

I inventoried all alcoholic beverages in my area that were to be distributed. Upon completion, I would redistribute wares to individual vendors and refill orders throughout the night. This task included the counting of cash sales/balances, bookkeeping and closing at the end of the night.

Working for Subway is amazing. the corporate inspectors are there once a month not only to insure that the stores are following procedure but to teach you easier and faster ways to create orders.

Typically a day starts with commentating the prep-list and stocking the line. Insuring that the freshest products are ready for the day increases the likelihood – more... of repeat costumers.

Managers insure that all the team works together. Most managers act like part of the team just with the responsibility of paperwork.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with rushes while maintaining adequate customer service. To goal is to create the orders in less than three minutes. Yet in a rush you may not have that long to create the orders. – less

Centerplate was a great job, and fun way to meet new people.
I was able to build some managment skills as well as cash handling skills. It also kept me on my toes while staying busy all day for 16 hour shifts..

Just having to make sure everything is counted correctly before, people in the groups come in before game time.

Management within the office is poor, at best. Lots of favoritism, and lots of petty issues.
The general ideology of the management is that you live to work there, not work there to live.
The company itself, if they can outsource your department, they will.
If by chance, you become one of management's "favorites" (which has nothing to do with actual – more... job performance) then your worklife is much better, otherwise be prepared for an onslaught of petty issues on a daily basis, that is, until you get laid off because your department is being outsourced. – less

Centerplate a good company to work for if you can get into management. However, even if not in management, I enjoyed it most of the time I worked there.

prep food for the customers when the order, take customers orders, clean station, wash dirty dishes as needed, run food to the stands s needed

My stand always had a high volume of customers due to my efficient abilities of getting the customer their food and drinks. I made many tips a day based off of my customer service and the sale of beer. Low pay, but the id make made up for it. long work days, around 10 hrs everyday and you couldnt sit down at all. Had to be on your feet all day.

Working for Centerplate is very exciting. Always something different, new event, new faces, different roles. I can be preparing convention rooms for banquet on day and the next serve the guest food and/or drinks. Or i can work retail at a food spot and prepare food as well as cashier. We must be prepare for everything and anything that gets thrown at – more... you and be willing to do your best with a smile and this is why I enjoy what i do for this company. – less

Went to school, Walked about 2 miles to work, worked 6-10 hour days in a friendly resturaunt enviroment, Enjoyed working there, Friendly staff, Hardest part of the job was not sitting for those 6-10 hours, Most enjoyable part... Seeing all the happy people and families that came to eat a good meal and watch the races.

Thankful the company gave me a chance to show that I wanted to work at a tough time in my life.

I enjoy working with them, the pay is nice. However, I wish I could get more hours but other than that I enjoy it!

Fun to learn how to set a table their way different ways to do events, how to arrange food and other types of arrangements. The hardest part is being pregnant and management not CARE.
