You are excited to take that next step in your food and beverage/events career and continue your progression in the field of hospitality. You have a keen eye for detail, and a passion for customer service. You don’t shy away from thinking-on-your-feet to problem solve or supporting multiple teams and managing competing priorities.

You are looking for some flexibility in a job, so working a variety of different shifts, including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, works for your personal life.

At Crescent Hotels & Resorts we strive to create a great place to work where associates at all levels of our organization are respected for their differences, just like the guests and owners we serve. That’s why we are dedicated to creating an environment that facilitates open and honest conversations about race, equity, diversity, and inclusion. By examining our own beliefs and behaviors, we can create change through training, recruiting, and promoting diverse talent to strengthen our culture.
