The company operates multiple locations and offers a variety of career opportunities aimed at promoting long-term professional development for its workforce.
The open position is for a Bakery Associate located at 15260 Kutztown Road Suite 2. As a Bakery Associate, the role involves a blend of customer service, baking skills, and supervisory responsibilities to contribute to the successful daily operations of the bakery department within the store. This role requires someone who is customer-focused, able to handle bakery product preparation and decoration, and capable of overseeing day-to-day bakery activities including inventory management, associate scheduling, and merchandising.
The ideal candidate will be involved in promoting excellent customer relations by greeting customers, responding to inquiries, and resolving any issues with professionalism and a positive attitude. They will be tasked with taking customer orders in person or over the phone, focusing on their preferences for size, flavor, and appearance, and then producing finished bakery products accordingly. Bakery Associates will also use various decorating techniques, adhering closely to company recipes to ensure consistent quality and appearance of cakes, pastries, and other baked goods.
This role includes assisting the Bakery Manager with operational tasks like merchandising, ad execution, employee training, and engagement activities.

Supervisory duties are integral to this position, including overseeing bakery associates, scheduling shifts, delegating work, and contributing to performance recognition programs. The Bakery Associate is expected to foster a cooperative work environment and continuously strive to improve operational efficiencies and job performance.
Weis Markets values inclusivity and is committed to equal opportunity employment, embracing diversity without discrimination on legally protected bases. The company also supports accommodations for individuals with disabilities, ensuring a fair and accessible workplace.
This full-time position calls for a candidate with at least two years of management experience in retail, restaurant, or supermarket settings, with previous cake decorating experience preferred but not required.
