With initiatives that support school gardens, increase access to nutritious food in underserved areas, and promote environmental stewardship, Whole Foods Market stands out as a company that values personal growth and meaningful community engagement. Employees at Whole Foods Market are encouraged to be world-changers who help revolutionize the grocery industry by setting new standards for excellence in retail.
This role is specifically designed for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and who share Whole Foods Market’s passion for natural foods and sustainability. As a Dishwasher and Kitchen Cleaning Team Member, you will play a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation of the kitchen area, ensuring a safe and efficient workspace. Your daily tasks will include washing and sanitizing dishes, pots, pans, and utensils, as well as maintaining the overall cleanliness of floors, walls, and shelves. You will also assist with the proper storage, organization, and rotation of kitchen products to maximize efficiency and compliance with food safety standards.
This position requires attentiveness to detail, a strong work ethic, and excellent time management skills. You will be expected to arrive prepared and ready to work your scheduled shifts, participate in required trainings, and uphold Whole Foods Market’s core values. Customer service is an essential component of this role, as you will interact with customers, team members, and vendors, providing friendly, courteous, and timely assistance. The ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively within your team is crucial for success.
Working at Whole Foods Market offers a unique opportunity to be part of a mission-driven company that supports its employees through comprehensive benefits and growth opportunities. From the beginning, full and part-time team members are eligible for an array of "Whole Benefits," including health and wellness programs, paid time off, financial wellness resources, and store discounts. Additionally, new hires who successfully complete their initial 90-day period may be eligible for a base pay increase, recognizing their contributions and dedication. Whole Foods Market values diversity and inclusivity, ensuring an equitable hiring process and a supportive work environment for all team members.
The physical requirements of the job include the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, stand or walk for extended periods, and handle bending, twisting, squatting, and reaching motions. You will also be exposed to FDA-approved cleaning chemicals and varying temperature conditions, so the ability to work in both wet and dry environments safely is important. Experience with tools such as knives, box cutters, electric pallet jacks, and other heavy machinery may be required, and a flexible schedule that includes nights, weekends, and holidays will be expected.
The hourly wage for this role ranges between $15.00 and $24.40, commensurate with experience, offering competitive compensation in a dynamic and meaningful workplace. Joining Whole Foods Market means becoming part of a community committed to food excellence, sustainability, and making a positive impact wherever they operate.
