Work this semester
We are the largest employer of current Eastern University students, and for good reason
- **We are the highest paying job on campus -**up to $1.60 more per hour to start
- **No car needed!**Don't waste your money on gas, and don't waste your time hunting for a space in the parking lot.
- **We have the most hours available -**We have shifts from 6 am until midnight, so we can work around your class schedule. And you can work however many hours you want to - from as little as 5 per week to a maximum of 20 per week.*
- **FWS preferred, but not required -**We are one of the very few departments that accept applications from students who did not qualify for Federal Work Study (FWS); we also use Eastern Campus Employment (ECE). In addition, most departments will not allow you to earn more than your FWS award, capping your pay at $1200 or $1400for the entire year. Our employees often earn more than that in just a couple months, and we will let you earn more than your FWS award.
- **A great variety of jobs and locations -**We offer four different food service locations, with dozens of different job responsibilities to keep you from getting bored.
- **Promotions & Pay Raises!**All students are eligible for merit-based pay raises, and some locations offer supervisor and management promotions for student workers.
But working in the Dining Services is not for everyone.
- It is a food service job, and there are a number of food safety regulations we must follow (such as no jewelry, no false fingernails or nail polish, and you must wear a hat or hair net).
- We require a uniform (a polo shirt and hat that we provide, plus either your own pair of black slacks, or black slacks that we provide).
- We are the highest paying job on campus for a reason. Our work is fun and satisfying, but you should expect to work harder than you will at many on campus jobs.
- To help everyone plan their study time, the schedule is kept consistent from week to week
* There is a limit of 20 hours per week for all on campus jobs. During periods of non-enrollment (summer break, winter break) there is a limit of 40 hours per week. Employment is conditional, based on approval by Eastern University's Student Aid office.
