The Deli Bakery Associate role at MDBS is a vital position centered on both culinary skills and customer service. It provides a unique opportunity for individuals passionate about food, particularly in cake decorating, to apply their talents in a fast-paced environment that prioritizes quality and efficiency. Associates are expected to decorate cakes skillfully and quickly, ensuring that presentation is attractive for customers. Beyond cake decorating, the role involves maintaining inventory by filling production cases and stocking bakery displays, ensuring that all products are fresh and appealing throughout the day. At the heart of this position is delivering enthusiastic customer service, working collaboratively within a team, and maintaining a positive work environment. The physical demands include the ability to handle food preparation safely, maintain sanitation standards in food handling and equipment use, and operate comfortably under diverse conditions such as cooler temperatures.

This position is not just about skill execution but also about contributing to a supportive workplace where professional development is encouraged. MDBS offers solid growth opportunities with a history of promoting from within, allowing bakery associates to advance into management roles both in the field and at corporate levels. For employees willing to relocate for career or personal reasons, MDBS’s extensive geographic footprint across 32 states allows for seniority to be retained in transfers. The company is proud to be an inclusive employer, welcoming applications from individuals of all backgrounds including veterans and those with disabilities, and is committed to equal employment opportunity in its federal contracting operations. Benefits include competitive pay, paid time off including vacation and holidays, a 401k retirement plan, and flexible scheduling that respects employees' personal time, typically closing commissaries at an early hour. This role is ideal for individuals who are motivated by a dynamic environment, skilled in cake decoration, and eager to provide outstanding service to a valued customer base.
