Job Description

The Fresh Market is a specialty grocery store committed to making everyday eating extraordinary for its guests. Known for offering a curated selection of high-quality, fresh, and artisanal food products, The Fresh Market focuses on providing an exceptional shopping experience by blending outstanding customer service with superior product offerings. Established as a trusted name in the retail grocery sector, The Fresh Market prides itself on its commitment to freshness, quality, and friendly service. The company operates a variety of departments including deli, meat and seafood, bakery, and produce, each staffed with specialists who deeply understand their products and the culinary needs of their customers. This ensures that every guest’s experience is both personal and satisfying, setting The Fresh Market apart from typical grocery retailers.

The position being offered is that of a Production Specialist. This role is ideally suited for individuals who are passionate about production and enjoy working during early shifts. The Production Specialist plays a critical part in supporting key departments such as Deli-CMS, Meat-Seafood, Bakery, and Produce by handling production of essential items that meet the high standards set by The Fresh Market.

The Production Specialist will need to operate various tools and equipment safely, including knives, ladders, pallet jacks, and box cutters, and will be required to stand or walk for extended periods. Working hours typically are from 3 am to 11 am, with days off generally on Sundays and Wednesdays, though flexibility to cover other shifts, including weekends and holidays, is expected as per business needs.

Beyond the core responsibilities, The Fresh Market supports its employees with a wide array of benefits, including a 30% team member discount, access to earned wages early, 401K with company match, financial wellness programs, medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, and discounts on additional services such as pet insurance and daycare. The company emphasizes its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering a workplace that accommodates reasonable accommodations for qualified applicants and team members.

Working in this role means you are part of a team dedicated to delivering outstanding food products and culinary experiences to the community, backed by a company known for valuing its employees and customers alike.
