Starter jobs from the squares to the Inner Belt
Plenty of work in Somerville is learned on the job. The restaurants and bars of Davis Square and Union Square need dishwashers, bussers and prep cooks, and the bakeries and cafés in Ball Square and Teele Square need people behind the counter, often starting early in the morning.
At Assembly Row, the Assembly Square Marketplace and Twin City Plaza, entry-level work means stocking shelves, running a register, and unloading and sorting deliveries. In the Inner Belt and Brickbottom, the warehouses and distribution buildings need pickers, packers and loaders, and the CHA Somerville Campus has cleaning and front-desk roles.
A lot of this is a walk from a station. Davis is on the Red Line, Assembly on the Orange Line, and Union Square, Ball Square and East Somerville, by the Inner Belt, are on the Green Line, with buses along Broadway and Highland Avenue in between.
