About the employer
Piezanos Pizza North is an Italian restaurant run by Unal Bros Corporation, serving pizza, pasta and salads right on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland — a popular Atlantic beach destination that fills with visitors from neighbouring states every summer.
As a seasonal student you'll work in a busy restaurant alongside Americans, so you'll practise your English, share your own culture and learn about theirs. Employees get free fountain drinks and free slices of pizza. In your free time the beach and the ocean are close by, and there are plenty of chances to travel around the USA.
