There is no good reason for working at The Zenith that I can think of.

The pay is marginal, and we offer no good prospects for a healthy future whatsoever. The workload is gruesome, and the owners have all the personality of a honey badger with a toothache. If you’re looking for a laid-back, chill environment, this is not for you!

But the flip side is—and I say this with a sense of pride—if you can withstand the insanity that will ensue, you will become one of the most employable people in the tri-state area. Even if your state may be slightly less sane than before you started working with us.

The people who stay with us are among some of the best people I know. Many of them return to help out once in a while when their lives get too easy and they need to remember what work is truly like. Perhaps it’s a form of Stockholm syndrome. I don’t know.

But if you can hack it, and tolerate us, something happens…

You become part of the Zenith family.

Sorry. It does happen.

And then you realize we don’t do this just to make money. We’re still working on that part.

We do this because we care.

We care about being a no-waste restaurant. We care about recycling old things in our shop. We care about promoting local artists of all kinds. And most of all, we care about the people who come here and believe in the same things.

The Zenith is a place of freedom of expression, and we believe in the freedom to be whoever you want to be without question. We are an inclusive environment and do not tolerate social prejudice of any kind.

I can’t promise working here will land you in a straitjacket, but I can promise we will provide ample opportunity.

If you have read this far and are still interested, please give us a call at 412-481-4833 or stop by.

We need help particularly on Sundays, but would like to incorporate someone into a day during the week as well.
