PIGEON FORGE â Those who are worried about COVID-19 safety on the job might want to consider applying for one of the hundreds of openings at four properties operated by The Dollywood Company. There are four job fairs scheduled for February.
Leia Haney, talent acquisition manager for The Dollywood Company, said that employees are screened daily for symptoms of the coronavirus and are required to wear face masks to help prevent its spread.
âEvery host has their temperature taken at all four properties,â she said. âTheyâre not allowed on the property until they pass.â
The screening procedures have been in place since June 2020, when Dollywood opened its season later than usual due to the pandemic.
