Unlike government positions, the roles at MDBS are open to everyone, emphasizing inclusivity and a commitment to customer service. The company stands out for its dedication to combining a genuine love for food with a passion for people, aiming to deliver an outstanding customer experience to its well-deserving military customers.

As a Deli Bakery Associate with Cake Decorating Experience at MDBS, you will take on an essential role in the bakery department, focusing on cake decoration and general bakery duties. This job is perfect for candidates who enjoy working in a fast-paced retail environment, possess strong teamwork skills, and have a passion for craftsmanship in baked goods. The role requires the associate to skillfully decorate cakes within 15-20 minutes, ensuring each product not only meets quality standards but also appeals visually to customers.

Beyond cake decorating, the associate will be responsible for filling production cases and stocking the floor or display tables with baked goods to maintain a fresh and inviting bakery environment. Customer service is paramount, and associates are encouraged to foster an atmosphere of enthusiastic service, positive communication, and team collaboration. Ensuring proper sanitation of the department and equipment is a critical component of the role, alongside adhering to food handling and preparation standards vital to maintaining safety and quality.

Candidates must be capable of handling the physical demands of the job, including lifting up to 50 pounds and standing or walking through entire shifts. Flexibility is valued, with willingness to cross-train in deli and other bakery tasks as needed. The work environment can be fast-paced and occasionally stressful, so the ability to maintain composure and work effectively under pressure is important.

With commissary locations in 32 states, there is also flexibility for relocation without loss of seniority, making this a stable and rewarding opportunity for career development.

MDBS honors and supports its workforce with competitive pay, paid time off including two weeks of paid vacation after one year, holiday pay, a 401k plan, and flexible scheduling. Additionally, the typically early closing time of commissaries around 7:00 pm provides associates more personal time, promoting a healthy work-life balance. This role is open to all individuals including veterans, those with disabilities, and federal contractors. Joining MDBS means becoming part of a dedicated team that values quality, respect, and meaningful service to the military community.
