Productive and fun workplace with food benefits
Sun-Life Stadium Volunteer (Former Employee), Miami Gardens, FL –
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

Very fun company to work for.
Merchandise Associate (Current Employee), Saint Petersburg, FL –
Pros: free lunches, 50% discount on merchandise and tickets
Cons: long time off
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.

Great place to work
Cashier (Current Employee), Columbia, SC –
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.

Fun work environment dealing with different culture of people
Concession Stand Lead (Former Employee), Newark, NJ –
Pros: getting to see events for free.
Cons: no benefits
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

Overall decent company that is going through growing pains.
Warehouse Manager (Current Employee), Denver, CO –
Pros: good overall company with a fantastic exc. cheif
Cons: the purchaser has anger issues.
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.

Fun place to work
Food Server (Former Employee), San Diego, CA –
Pros: free lunch, fun environment
Cons: low pay
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.

An easy job but not convenient
Supervisor (Former Employee), Gainesville, FL –
Pros: easy job
Cons: not enough hours, traffic getting in and leaving, no benefits
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.
