Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) operates 103 commissary locations across the United States, serving the nation's Military personnel and their families. MDBS is committed to delivering exceptional customer service by fostering a passion for food and a love for people, truly appreciating the well-deserving military community. MDBS is a strong supporter of career growth, with many deli bakery associates advancing into field and corporate management positions. The company encourages internal mobility, offering the ability to transfer between commissary locations in 32 states without losing seniority, making it an ideal employer for those who may need to relocate for work or school. As a non-government employer, MDBS welcomes everyone to apply and become part of their dedicated team.

The role of a Deli Bakery Associate with cake decorating experience is a key position within MDBS, responsible not only for crafting visually appealing and tasty cakes but also for contributing to the overall efficient operation of the deli bakery department. This role demands a mixture of technical skills in cake decorating and a customer-centered approach, ensuring a positive in-store experience for all visitors. Associates are expected to decorate a cake from start to finish within 15-20 minutes, showcasing their skill and speed. They also play a critical part in product presentation by filling production cases and stocking floor or display tables with baked goods, maintaining attractive displays that encourage sales.

Maintaining cleanliness and proper sanitation is a major responsibility in this role. Associates ensure that the department and equipment are kept up to health and safety standards in food handling and preparation. Working at MDBS involves thriving in a fast-paced environment, where teamwork, communication, and problem-solving under pressure are essential. The Deli Bakery Associate position offers flexible scheduling, holiday pay for over 10 paid holidays per year starting at hire, paid time off after one year, a 401k plan, and competitive pay. Importantly, the environment supports work-life balance, as many locations close early, around 7:00 pm, allowing more personal time for employees.

Joining MDBS as a Deli Bakery Associate means becoming part of an organization that values respect, integrity, and dedication to the military community. The company is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a Federal Contractor committed to diversity and inclusion, welcoming applications from veterans, individuals with disabilities, and all qualified candidates. Whether you are starting a career or seeking growth in the bakery or deli sectors, MDBS provides extensive training and the opportunity to cross-train in various roles to expand your skill set and career opportunities.
