Barclays Center still advertising jobs in arena operations; pay mostly not listed; company in charge requires vaccination (unlike with food-service jobs)

Beyond the dozens of jobs, mostly part-time, listed for the Barclays Center food service by Levy Restaurants, cited yesterday, arena operator ASM Global, a major venue and event managment company, lists eight job titles, with four of them part-time and presumably with multiple openings.

Unlike with the Levy jobs, these (with one exception) do not have wages attached, though presumably the union scale will be made clear to applicants. (In August 2021, the arena operator listed eight part-time job positions and one full-time.)

Also, unlike with the Levy jobs, which stated that a COVID-19 vaccination "may" be required, in this case, "ASM Global requires that all individuals, subject to certain limited exceptions, be fully vaccinated against COVID-19." Perplexing.

Notably, the jobs, including the part-time ones, require a flexible schedule to accomodate events on evenings and weekends. 

That is understandable but also a challenge, because the arena adds (and sometimes drops/reschedules) events on a non-standard schedule. And even if workers are expected to be available on weekends, that doesn't mean that work is always available.

Part-time jobs

Below are the current part-time listings, with excerpts from the blurbs.

Administrative Services Assistant; must be available to work at least three days and evening events per week; including all events on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays.
