Frequently asked questions
Arena Attendants at Cable Dahmer Arena earn between $14.00 and $19.00 per hour, which aligns competitively with local part-time roles in Independence, MO. This wage range reflects the responsibilities and the live event atmosphere unique to this venue, often surpassing typical retail or hospitality part-time pay in the area.
While formal certifications aren't mandatory, employers in Independence prefer candidates with strong customer service skills, reliability for night and weekend shifts, and basic safety awareness. Experience in event settings or familiarity with rink operations can be advantageous, enhancing your fit for arena operations jobs locally.
Managing safety on the ice, keeping the rink clean during operating hours, and handling customer interactions are common challenges. Balancing swift skate rentals with monitoring for potential hazards requires attentive multitasking, especially during busy event days or weekend sessions.
At Dallas Convention Center, the Arena Attendant role integrates community ice rink operations, blending customer-facing duties with rink maintenance. This contrasts with some ball arena or sports club jobs that may focus more exclusively on event ushering or concessions, offering a broader scope in ice rink management here.
Besides competitive hourly wages, part-time attendants benefit from 401(k) savings plans with matching contributions, a notable advantage not always extended in part-time arena jobs. This reflects Dallas Convention Center's commitment to supporting employee financial wellness even in non-full-time roles.
Independent community venues experience steady demand for reliable part-time staff, especially as live events and recreational skating remain popular. While competition exists, ongoing hiring reflects a consistent need for attendants able to work evenings and weekends in this region.
Reliable transportation is essential due to the venue's suburban location. Public transit options may be limited, so having a personal vehicle or carpooling arrangements greatly improves punctuality and shift flexibility for those working nights and weekends.
Starting as an Arena Attendant offers exposure to venue operations with potential pathways into supervisory roles or specialized event staff positions. Oak View Group’s extensive venue portfolio means motivated attendants can leverage experience for roles across arenas, festivals, and hospitality services.
Positions are evergreen, meaning applications are accepted continuously without fixed deadlines. This approach reflects a consistent operational need, allowing flexible hiring aligned with community ice rink schedules and event calendars.
During events, attendants focus more on crowd management, safety monitoring, and customer check-in efficiency. On regular skate days, duties shift toward rink upkeep, skate rentals, and maintaining cleanliness, requiring adaptability to fluctuating activity levels throughout shifts.
