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.
