Yes and no. Arizona Child Labor Laws prohibit a 14-15 year old from operating any cooking or baking equipment other than a soda fountain. The extent of a 15 year old’s allowance to work is cashier or serving prepackaged and/or pre-prepared food items like what you would see at a cafeteria in terms of our concessions position.Which significantly limits the ability for a 15 year old to be hired for concessions. 

15 year olds are also not allowed to work more than 3 hour shifts and no overnight events without a parent’s consent and occasionally, a school administrator’s consent based on scholastic expectations. What does the school have to do with your ability to work? Your grades and schooling are more important and all involved want to ensure that your grades and class work does not suffer. 

We can, in certain circumstances, hire for technician positions but again, a parent’s consent must be provided and we will only consider a 15 year old if there are no similarly qualified older applicants. 

We also do not offer any cashier only positions. We wish you the very best of luck and hope that when you turn 16, you’ll apply to work for us. 

All incoming staff will be required to pass a drug test prior to hire. Random drug testing will occur throughout employment.All staff are also required to work an occasional monthly overnight lock-in shift. If you cannot work these Saturday overnighters, please note that on your application. They are a vital part of our event calendar and all of our staff are called on to share these shift responsibilities.

All staff may be asked to assist in the VIP TV Youtube Channel videos. This filming is completely optional and voluntary. Do not in any way feel obligated to participate. Should you choose to participate, you may be asked to film after hours or after your shift. Please note that the VIPTV program is a volunteer program and is therefore not counted toward on-shift pay if you are required to stay late. You may be allowed to participate on-clock if all other duties are completed and management gives approval.
