As a company, MDBS takes pride in supporting the men and women of our armed forces as well as their families by offering high-quality food products paired with excellent customer service. The company is committed to fostering a positive work environment that emphasizes teamwork, respect, and a shared passion for food. MDBS is not a government employer, welcoming all candidates to join their team. With multiple locations throughout 32 states, MDBS provides opportunities for career advancement and relocation with no loss of seniority, underscoring the company’s investment in employee growth and long-term career development.

The Deli Bakery Associate role at MDBS is a dynamic part-time position ideal for individuals who enjoy working in a fast-paced, customer-focused setting. This position involves a range of responsibilities including slicing deli meats and cheeses to customer specifications, preparing custom party trays and sandwiches, stocking and organizing displays, and assisting with shipments as needed. Associates also play a critical role in maintaining proper sanitation of the department and equipment, ensuring food handling and preparation standards are upheld. Beyond deli duties, the role may extend to bakery tasks such as cake decorating, baking, or rotisserie chicken preparation, providing a diverse workday. The position requires engaging enthusiastically with customers and team members to foster an atmosphere of positive communication and teamwork.

MDBS offers a flexible schedule for its associates, with shifts typically from 2 pm to 7 pm. The role requires physical stamina, including the ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand or walk during the entire shift as well as tolerate working in freezer environments for short durations. The company values effective and friendly communication skills, a willingness to cross-train within bakery and deli departments, and prior experience in grocery, food service, or retail is considered a plus. There are opportunities for weekend shifts, reflecting the company’s commitment to serving customers throughout the week.

In addition to a competitive pay structure, MDBS provides substantial benefits such as paid time off after one year, holiday pay for over ten paid holidays annually, a 401k plan, and a flexible schedule that supports work-life balance. The company also encourages internal promotions and career growth, making the Deli Bakery Associate position not just a job but a pathway to expanded roles within the organization. MDBS proudly operates as an equal employment opportunity federal contractor, supporting diversity and inclusion across its workforce.
