Who we are: We’re the West Michigan Whitecaps, Class High-A Minor League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The Whitecaps are in the FUN business and our mission is to provide affordable family entertainment that strengthens the West Michigan community. We create memorable experiences by offering a fun, friendly and inclusive environment.
Why we want you: You’re an outgoing, fun-loving, high school graduate (or equivalent), a customer service guru, and a lover of family-friendly entertainment for all ages. You have a positive attitude, and (ideally) a passion and talent for acting, dance, or performance.
Why you want to work here: When you join our team, you become a part of our culture and our story – we’re small enough that you’ll have an ability to put your stamp on things. We’ve got an all-hands-on-deck mentality and pitch in when something needs done. We work very hard but we don’t take ourselves too seriously; we realize how important things like office darts and puppy visits and staff happy hours are. Plus, you also get free baseball tickets (your friends will love you!), a free health club membership, and opportunities to get discounted or free tickets to various shows and events in West Michigan. We’re also pretty great people to work with.
What you’ll do: You’ll delight families as one of the mascots for the West Michigan Whitecaps (Crash, Franky, and Roxy) by signing autographs and being available for pictures, visiting decks and parties, and participating in promotions during the game. You'll keep an eye on the Mascot Prop Closet, and work with the Promotions Team as needed. You'll have a lot of fun doing it!
What you need: You need to be at least 18 years old, and have solid availability (including nights, weekends, and holidays) during the season (typically April through September). You need an energy and enthusiasm that can keep up with the busy season, and a desire to have a ton of fun at work!
Let’s do this: If you’re ready to apply, we look forward to getting to know you. Submit your resume and drop us a cover letter letting us know why you’d be a good fit. We’ll be in touch!
