Job Description

Food City is a privately held, family-owned supermarket chain with a strong commitment to quality, community, and customer satisfaction. Established with a mission to "run the best store in town," Food City takes pride in providing a welcoming shopping environment where associates and customers alike feel valued. The company places a significant emphasis on community involvement, encouraging employees to participate in local civic organizations to help make a positive impact. One of the unique aspects of Food City is its employee stock ownership plan, where over 13 percent of the company is owned by its associates. This ownership fosters pride among employees and motivates them to deliver exceptional service and products every day. Food City offers a variety of career opportunities across different sectors, including baking, accounting, and logistics, ensuring there is a promising path for individuals with diverse interests and skills. Additionally, the company supports work-life balance with flexible work schedules so employees can spend quality time with family and friends.

The role of a Food Service Associate at Food City involves a dynamic mix of customer service, food preparation, and store maintenance responsibilities. This position is integral to upholding the company’s mission by providing courteous and efficient service to all customers. Food Service Associates are expected to maintain a positive attitude and contribute to a friendly and fun work environment through teamwork and flexibility. Key duties include preparing quality baked goods such as bread, rolls, pies, and cookies, following manual guidelines to meet or exceed company standards. Associates are responsible for daily production tasks, stock rotation, and assisting with ordering supplies to support smooth operations. They also ensure all packaged products comply with local weights and measurement regulations, maintaining accuracy and compliance. Cleanliness and adherence to the company’s Food Safety program are crucial for this role, helping ensure a safe and pleasant environment for both customers and employees. Importantly, Food Service Associates are cross-trained in multiple areas, allowing them to develop varied skills and gain comprehensive experience within the store. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy a customer-focused environment, take pride in producing high-quality food products, and thrive in a team-oriented setting. Food City values dedication, positive interaction, and a readiness to contribute to a successful retail operation. This opportunity offers weekly paycheck payments with direct deposit and benefits such as a 401(k) plan with company match, employee stock ownership, company-paid life and disability insurance, and medical and dental plans, along with paid holidays, paid vacations, and special associate offers. If you are looking for a rewarding career with a supportive employer, Food City welcomes you to join their family-oriented team and help continue the legacy of exceptional service and community engagement.
