You want to work in sports but do you have what it takes to be great? Do you want to learn from the best and become the best?

 

Seriously. Why not enjoy the dynamic crowd, Pacific Northwest scenery and America’s favorite pastime all in a day’s work? The glamour surrounding this job is built around hard work, building connections, teamwork, integrity, and competitive drive to create the best experience for our guests. If that doesn’t excite you, you aren’t motivated, stop reading and apply elsewhere.

If you are still reading you can probably tell we are not the average sports business organization you studied about in your sport management classes. You are right. And you probably believe as we do that being average is failure. This means you ‘get it’ and we want you to be on our team.

 

So, who are the Tacoma Rainiers, you are probably asking, and what makes them so great? Good question.

At Cheney Stadium we strive to create innovative entertainment, develop customer service initiatives, and hire amazing front office staff to unfold premium service to our guests.

And this is where you come in.

 

1.      Teachable

2.      Time Management

3.      Driven to be the best

 

Sound too simple? Nope. You would be surprised at how many are satisfied with mediocrity and don’t care to be the best. You would be surprised at how many don’t want to learn how to be successful. You would be surprised at how many will give up on their dreams because they are afraid to work hard.

 

Again, do you have what it takes?
