With a strong presence of over 60 stores throughout Kansas, Dillons has established itself as a trusted food retailer known for its commitment to innovation, customer service, and community engagement. As a member of the Kroger family of companies, Dillons embodies a shared mission to "Feed the Human Spirit," emphasizing a culture that values diverse teams passionate about food and people. The company fosters an inclusive and supportive work environment where employees, referred to as associates, are encouraged to grow personally and professionally.

This involves sharing knowledge about products, offering samples, and providing accurate information about specials and inventory.

In addition to customer-facing duties, the role also includes operational tasks such as measuring, preparing, packaging, labeling, and inventorying ingredients and products while ensuring adherence to food safety regulations and temperature controls. Associates work collaboratively with management to address discrepancies, report safety issues, and maintain equipment. Training and coaching other team members is an integral aspect of the position, helping to build a skilled and motivated workforce committed to exceptional standards. This job demands strong communication skills and a working knowledge of basic math, along with the ability to obtain a food handler's permit shortly after employment. Experience in retail and proficiency in a second language are desirable attributes that can enhance an associate's effectiveness and customer engagement.

Whether you are starting your career journey or seeking new challenges, this opportunity offers a supportive environment where you can make a real difference in your community while contribute to the company's continued success. The role is designed for individuals who are caring, purpose-driven, and eager to learn, promising a rewarding experience enriched by diverse and enthusiastic colleagues.
