No prior experience is necessary, but we are looking for people who understand the importance of enjoying life, people who like to smile and help others, people who are just plain friendly.
We make our selections from those applicants who most closely meet our Idlewild & SoakZone standards. Applicant evaluations are based on the following factors: attitude, availability, enthusiasm, communication skills, courtesy, neatness and friendliness.
