With a diverse team that embraces different backgrounds, thoughts, and opinions, Bloomingdale's fosters a collaborative and entrepreneurial work culture where every colleague has a voice and the opportunity to share ideas at all levels of leadership.

The company seeks a Bloomingdale's Server to join its restaurant team, a role essential in delivering exceptional customer service and enhancing the overall store experience. This position involves interacting directly with customers, whether they are enjoying the store's renowned frozen yogurt or dining with friends in a sit-down setting. The server plays a crucial role by offering knowledgeable recommendations, insightful menu details, and an engaging presence that contributes to the welcoming atmosphere of the store's dining options. The restaurants within Bloomingdale's do not just serve food but offer a creative culinary experience, blending style and excellent service to ensure every meal is memorable.

This is a fast-paced and dynamic role that requires not only a passion for customer service but also the ability to manage multiple priorities efficiently. Servers must be well-versed in menu offerings and understand the art of "coursing," which involves the strategic timing and upselling of menu items. The position demands strong communication skills and the ability to work flexible schedules that may include evenings, weekends, and holidays. Physical stamina is also necessary as the job involves prolonged periods of standing, walking, lifting up to 25 pounds, and using technology like handheld equipment and cash registers throughout the shift.

In return for their dedication, Bloomingdale's offers competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package that includes day-one medical, dental, and vision benefits for eligible employees. Additional offerings include paid time off, flexible scheduling, access to earned wages, and bonus opportunities.
