Ranked among the top 50 in the industry, CSG emphasizes the empowerment of its teams, fostering a collaborative environment grounded in integrity and respect. This approach not only promotes exceptional service quality but also nurtures personal growth, development, and meaningful impact for team members. The company’s mission centers on delivering high-quality culinary services that meet rigorous health and safety standards, ensuring well-being and satisfaction for the clients and communities it serves.

The Cook role at CSG is structured to ensure the preparation and delivery of food that meets established federal, state, and corporate standards, policies, and regulations.

Additional duties encompass assisting in production planning, record keeping, inventory management, and reporting any equipment malfunctions or safety concerns immediately.

CSG prides itself on fostering a safe and respectful work environment. Employees are expected to follow company policies such as using appropriate protective gear when handling knives and hot items, wearing slip-resistant shoes, applying proper lifting techniques, and actively committing to personal and team safety. The company also values collaborative relationships within the workplace, encouraging constructive interactions among coworkers, customers, administrators, and managers.

In return for their dedication, CSG team members are offered a comprehensive benefits package that supports not only physical health but also financial security and overall well-being. This includes access to retirement plans, shopping programs, health and wellness initiatives, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and a variety of voluntary insurance options. Full-time employees have additional benefits including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts. The company is committed to equal opportunity employment, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds and ensuring fair consideration for all qualified candidates. The recruitment process is ongoing until all open positions are filled, reflecting CSG's commitment to finding the right fit for their dynamic team.
