Starter shifts in Waltham, downtown and by Route 128

Downtown Waltham is full of work people learn on the job. Moody Street’s restaurants have dishwashing, prep and busing shifts, and the supermarkets on Main Street, Lexington Street and River Street have bagging, stocking, cart and register work that nobody expects you to know already.

Out by Route 128, the hotels on Winter Street, Totten Pond Road and Second, Third and Fourth Avenues have housekeeping, laundry and breakfast attendant work, and the big stores and wholesale clubs nearby have stocking and cart shifts. The 61 bus along Totten Pond Road reaches this area from Waltham Center.

The universities and care homes have starter roles too: dining hall and custodial work at Brandeis and Bentley, and dietary aide and housekeeping work at the nursing center on Newton Street. The 70 along Main Street and the buses from Waltham Center tie these places together.
