About the employer
Forty One North brings modern elegance to historic Newport, Rhode Island, right on the lively downtown waterfront. The property includes a marina, two full-service restaurants with outdoor bars and dining, and a hotel for guests.
It is a high-volume operation, so you can expect teamwork and a strong focus on excellence, whatever your tasks may be. International students are placed across different areas of the property. All employees receive a 50% dining discount off the restaurant menu.
