Banquet Bartender

Fitler Club is a first-of-its-kind urban social club for socially conscious, forward-thinking Philadelphians, combining world-class dining, fitness, social, business, hotel, and event offerings all under one roof. As home to the leaders and organizations shaping the present and future of Philadelphia and beyond, we are grateful for the opportunity to enrich the lives of our members and guests and we strive to deliver world-class hospitality. 

At Fitler Club, we hold employees to high standards in how they treat members, guests, and each other, and we hold our organization to high standards in how we care for our employees.

Free meals, snacks, and beverages seven days/week, complimentary fitness classes, employee appreciation events, professional headshots, and wholesale pricing on designer retail products are just a few benefits available to all employees, in addition to a long list of traditional benefits such as wide-ranging health insurance options, company-paid short-term disability and paid parental leave, 401k with a company match, generous PTO policies and company-sponsored holidays, and more. Employees receive annual performance reviews with opportunities for career development and wage increases. 

Fitler Club employees work in a high-design center of art, culture, and economy, amidst modern facilities and amenities, a museum-worthy art collection, and state of the art technology. (This is apparent even before entering the space, as both members and employees can access the building via fingerprint scanner.) 

We are committed to driving social impact in Philadelphia, offering members, guests, AND employees opportunities to attend events featuring renowned impact leaders and volunteer alongside one another for a variety of causes throughout the city.

Hospitality is a team sport, and every employee is integral to our success. All employees are encouraged to share feedback, be solution-oriented, and seek out opportunities to show those in our care how deeply we value them as members of our community. 

We are extremely fortunate to have a diverse, dynamic, civically engaged, and generous membership - people you’ll be excited and privileged to meet, greet, and serve. There’s no better customer base anywhere in Philadelphia.

If Fitler Club sounds like the right place for you, we welcome you to apply to join us in our pursuit. We hope to have the opportunity to work alongside you, learn from you, develop you, care for you, and succeed with you. Thank you for your interest in joining our team.
