It this doesn't belong here I understand if it is deleted.
I am retired since November (early retirement) but for the 4 years prior to retiring, I was a cafeteria lunch lady (I am a guy!)
Here's the dirt on my school district. Most are similar but YMMV.
Starting pay $15.42 and hour. I checked the other districts in my area the other day and they range from $11.50 to $15.42.
4,6 or 7.5 hour shifts starting anywhere between 6:30am and 10am. NEVER evening or overnight work. If the school cafeteria is closed nobody is working.
Never was asked to work nights, weekends or holidays. Was asked only 1 time over a 4 year period to come in 30 minutes early to help prepare food for a field trip. No overtime. Cafeteria shuts down at 2pm and everybody goes home. Off 2 weeks at Thanksgiving, Christmas. Off 1 week Spring Break. Off 2+ months over the Summer (no pay.)
School district has/had floaters to coverage at a school when someone was out. I do know they are having a hard time filling positions now. So no covering when someone is out because you are already working and if you aren't, it's because the cafeteria is closed for the day, week or Summer.
Ample advancement opportunities only if you want.
Full benefits including teacher retirement system. Even working five 4 hour days you are eligible for full benefits. You earn 10 days PTO a year and they carry over.
I realize for some/many, this may not be enough income to exist. I get it. My wife was/is the breadwinner so it was doable for us. I am not a recruiter in any way. Just wanted to share that there is a position that puts a lot of jobs to shame. I worked at an Elementary School so it was kind of cool to work and interact with the young kids and see them grow up.
Or if someone needs/wants a p/t (but considered f/t for benefits) then a position like this will never interfere with a job where you work evenings or weekends.
Of course, being Texas, at some point you may be asked to use a ladle in your left and an a rifle in your right hand!
