Whitings Foods Employee at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

what our crew is saying

 

“This is a great place to get your first job! You learn so many resume-building skills, there are plenty of opportunities to move up if you want to, and you are treated like part of the family.”

“Great place to work during the summer. You gain tons of experience, meet customers from all around the world, and work with other great people. Scheduling is done online and is the easiest to keep track of. Working right next to the beach is also a plus. For this being my first job, it was definitely worth it.”

“The best thing about working here was how flexible hours were overall. Other perks were working on the beach and all the other fun employees.”
