With a strong commitment to serving military personnel and their families, MDBS operates across 103 commissary locations in the United States, providing not only quality deli and bakery products but also a warm and customer-focused environment. MDBS is not a government employer, which means opportunities are open to everyone, inclusive of all candidates committed to serving our nation's military community profitably and with dignity. The company fosters an atmosphere where love for food meets passion for people, aiming to deliver excellent customer service consistently to well-deserving military families. MDBS stands out for its dedication to employee growth, offering long-term career advancement paths and mobility across its commissary network spanning 32 states.

The position of Deli Bakery Associate at MDBS is a part-time role designed to engage team members in a variety of deli and bakery related duties at military commissaries. This role provides a unique chance to contribute directly to the service experience of military families by preparing and serving deli items, managing bakery duties, and maintaining the display and sanitation standards necessary for safe food handling. Ideal candidates are team players who thrive in fast-paced, dynamic settings and possess a strong work ethic paired with passion for food service excellence. The associate is directly involved in the day-to-day operational activities such as slicing deli meats and cheeses, creating custom party trays, sandwich preparation, and supporting inventory management including stock organization and shipment receiving. Additional bakery tasks like cake decorating, baking, and rotisserie chicken preparation may also be part of the role.

MDBS places a strong emphasis on teamwork, positive communication, and customer service enthusiasm, ensuring all employees work cohesively to support one another and enhance the customer shopping experience. This includes maintaining sanitation and safety protocols, adapting to different tasks as required by the business, and demonstrating resilience in a challenging work environment. Candidates should be physically able to stand and walk throughout their shifts, occasionally tolerate cold environments like freezers, and manage lifting up to 50 pounds. MDBS also provides a flexible schedule, recognizing the need for work-life balance, and offers competitive pay along with benefits including paid time off, holiday pay, and 401k plans. The company’s culture supports career advancement from within, making this not just an employment opportunity but a launchpad for a rewarding career in food service management. This role is perfect for individuals eager to develop skills, work closely with a supportive team, and contribute to the morale and satisfaction of military communities nationwide.
