What you get

• $15.00 to $18.00 per hour based on experience, W-2, paid biweekly by direct deposit

• Captain School, our paid leadership program, for people who want to lead
• Resume rewrite and mock interviews for everyone on the roster
• Schedules posted ahead; we tell you what the next 30 days of hours look like before you commit
• Shifts across Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Gaston and York counties

Who we are

The Wilkinson Firm is a premium hospitality and event staffing employer. Every hire is a W-2 employee, not a contractor: taxes handled, workers' compensation, and a real pay stub. We train before the first shift, run a paid leadership program called Captain School, rewrite your resume, run mock interviews, and promote from inside. Our clients are hotels, conference centers, caterers and venues. We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories. The Wilkinson Firm is building a 100-person W-2 hospitality team in the Charlotte market by the end of 2027, and this role is part of it.
