I'm a gringo but used to live in Orlando for five years with my Dominican wife so I know a little bit about the Dom community there. Most of the bodega owners seem to be Dom. Also, there is a supermarket chain "Bravo" that has everything you need to make "La Bandera" y mas. There are quite a few Dom restaurants as well. The best two are Cafe Madrid in Orlando and El Sabor Dominicano in Kissimmee(AND they have live music).
You will be pleased to know that there is a substantial, if somewhat outnumbered by the PR and Cubans, Dom community in the Orlando area.
As far as the job goes I think you should be able to find something that you like but of course that may depend on what you want to do.
Finally, they have festivals at least 5 times a year for hispanics with tropical music and I believe one of them is more or less a Dom event.
Good luck
