Houston Astros Baseball Club Employer Reviews

I was able to physically work on Minute Maid field. Some days consisted of cutting the grass, dragging the dirt, watering the grass, and preparing field for home games. I learned how to take care of grass the right way and how to keep the infield dirt level and presentable every gameday. Co-workers always knew how to keep the day fun and enjoyable. – more... The hardest part of the job was having to extremely quick on taking down batting practice setup right before game starts because everything has to be on time. – less

The management team was great to work with and were greatly helpful

Most of the people in organization were enjoyable, just long hours

Part of my responsabilities:

Managed and prepared journal entries for accounts receivables and payables on JD Edwards on a daily basis.
Processed bank deposits totaling more than 1 million in accounts receivables.
Reconciled several of the club’s accounts on a monthly basis.
Assisted the VP of Finance and Controller to ensure that the journal entries – more... were properly recorded on the general ledger and performed the appropriate investigation on any exceptions and oddities.
Filed and processed paid invoices on a weekly basis and maintained the file record in order. – less

A typical day would be to monitor the moves of the company, along with whatever paperwork of the day had to be prepared/distributed. I learned to always be prepared for the unexpected. You must be ready to work at all times. Management was not good at communication. The hardest part of the job was to stay focused in a tough office set-up. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was working with the veterans of the company. – less

Do your homework. New ownership lacks values and morals. Research ownership - everything you read is true. Don't be fooled by glamour of pro baseball. There is nothing professional here. No pay, many hours and little to no respect for employees.

This place is a joke. Pay is very bad.
Unrealistic goals. Supervisors had no idea what
is really going on.

Stay away from the Astros unless this is your first job and you are OK with making below minimum wage. No job security, they fired numerous employees every week. You work overtime but don't get paid overtime for your extra work. Management talks a big talk and says all the right things but once you work for them it is a whole different story.

The fornt office of the Houston Astros are the consummate professionals. They believe in hard work, they are results driven and and invest highly in the community.

A respected, traditional franchise like the Houston Astros, undergoing such adjustments, creates a welcoming environment for new ideas. This is the ideal setting for young, eager individuals wanting to gain experience in the sporting industry. The Houston Astros internship program is rated among the top 5 in the nation. With the opportunity to be one – more... of the 30 interns selected for such a name is a great honor. – less

As a tour guide at Minute Maid Park, I am afforded the opportunity to work with friendly, flexible employers and with the public. It has allowed me to refine my small and large group delivery skills, as well as work around baseball
