You’re expected to pull your weight at this location, but the effort definitely pays off especially during the busy summer months when tips are excellent.

Jack’s on Front provides plenty of hours and a fast-paced, high energy environment that will test you both emotionally and physically (summer months especially). During rushes from nearby games and shows, things can get hectic, so strong teamwork and reliability are key. Management values consistency and collaboration, so it’s important to demonstrate that early on or they will fire you.

At times, some team members can be a bit challenging or unkind under pressure, but it’s best to stay professional, rise above the negativity, and focus on your own performance and earnings potential.

Summer season makes the job well worth it, with great opportunities to pick up extra shifts and earn strong income. However, winters tend to be very slow, and shifts are much harder to secure, so it’s definitely a seasonal workplace. I made excellent money working here.

Was hired the beginning of January, they continued to hire a bunch of staff they said to prepare for the summer. Was fired today along with three others for no reason. Was told " think you're not a good fit for the company". No reason or warning anything was wrong. Seems like they hired a lot of people to then get rid of people who they don't like. Rather than support and train the staff they hired to be better. I was willing to learn and wanted to improve and that wasn't enough for them. Manager who was asked to escort me out of the building said "sorry girl" as I walked out the door. A lot of staff who have been there for awhile are unhappy with lack of hours and excuses from management.
