Job Title: Premium Bartender | Part-Time | Lansing Lugnuts (Jackson Field)

Company: Spectra Experiences

Location: Lansing, MI

Pay: $13 per hour

AI Pay Analysis: An hourly rate of $13 for a part-time “Premium Bartender” position with the Lansing Lugnuts at Jackson Field is relatively low compared to industry standards for bartenders in Michigan, where rates typically range from $15 to $25 per hour, depending on experience, location, and the establishment’s specific demands. In Lansing, the average wage for bartenders is generally closer to $15–$20 per hour, especially in venues like sports arenas that may have higher customer volumes and demand for skilled service. Additionally, tips can significantly enhance overall earnings in bartending roles, but the base pay should ideally reflect local cost-of-living and market competition. As such, $13 per hour may not be competitive or appealing to potential candidates, particularly those with experience or a strong skill set.
