Pros

Tip money is not taxed unless you claim it. Very flexible with scheduling around your school and other things that come up. Drive a wide variety of cars from Ford Focus to Mercedes.

Cons

Management did everything in their power to try and complicate an easy job. Working in extreme weather temperatures. Dealing with angry customers.

Pros

I work at the world's largest JW Marriott in Indianapolis, so I can't say my conditions are going to apply to all the other locations. -Great co-workers. Usually younger, friendly, college-age people. -Work off tips -Decent room for career advancement (may vary depending on location) -Constant engagement with management. (during busy times, they'll even be working the valet ramp with the GSA's and GSC's) -Highly flexible schedule, great for college or multiple jobs. -Tips included, some days average about $16.00/ hour. and other days can be a lot more. -Social environment, good for people who like to meet new people and interact with strangers.

Cons

-Low pay, starting wage at my location is $3.00 / hour for GSA's, which wouldn't really be an issue if you always had good days for tips. Unfortunately that's not the case. -slow days, over-staffing, and lazy co-workers can mean low tips. No matter how much effort you put forth, its a joint effort. There are days when I'll bring in twice as many tips than what I actually get after tip cuts. -Unless you're stern about what kind of hours you want, they don't have a problem over-working you. I'm a full time student, and for about the first 2 weeks of classes they had me working 45+ hours a week.

Pros

Good money, flexible hours, awesome travel benefits from the host properties. This job will teach you incredibly valuable skills, if you make use of the opportunity. I would highly recommend that anyone wanting to get into sales or anything that requires presentation skills work a year at Towne Park. I've read all of the other reviews on here, and I'm truly sorry for the people who had a bad experience. I'm in my 40's and LOVE Towne Park. It's a fantastic place to learn how to speak impressively with anyone. I've met Musicians, Senators, Governors, CEO's and I can find common ground in a conversation within 15 seconds with anyone at all. That skill is invaluable. I've worked with people who were sour on Towne Park, but you get out what you put in. If your attitude sucks, you won't make any money.

Cons

Some days you just don't make much money. That's the breaks with a tips based income. It can be frustrating to watch Joe Shmoe not pull any tips, and then split your $200 with him at the end of the night.
