Job Description
Hy-Vee is a Fortune 500 employee-owned corporation recognized as one of the most respected and successful supermarket chains in the United States. With a deep commitment to serving customers and enhancing their shopping experience, Hy-Vee operates over 280 stores across several Midwestern states. The company is known for its core values of integrity, respect, and commitment to customer service. It emphasizes the importance of its people, viewing employees as the strength behind every successful store, and ensuring a workplace culture that fosters teamwork, continuous growth, and engagement. At Hy-Vee, the promise "a helpful smile in every aisle" captures the spirit of its customer-first approach and is a reflection of the culture where every team member is encouraged to deliver friendly, courteous, and efficient service to customers and co-workers alike.
The Wrapper position in the Bakery department at Hy-Vee is a non-exempt role that plays a crucial part in ensuring product quality and customer satisfaction. This role involves counting, wrapping, and labeling baked goods while serving as the final inspector of products before they reach the display cases. Wrappers are responsible not only for preparing bakery items for sale but also for maintaining the visual appeal and signage accuracy of the bakery product presentation. Operating within a collaborative team environment, the wrapper contributes to a positive and professional atmosphere emphasizing customer engagement and support. The responsibilities extend beyond the bakery to assisting customers with product location, handling special customer requests, and maintaining store cleanliness and sanitation.
The role requires a keen eye for detail, physical capability to handle products and equipment, and a genuine desire to deliver excellent service. Wrappers at Hy-Vee must adhere to food safety standards, company policies on hygiene, and maintain the bakery area to ensure it meets all sanitation and safety requirements. This position calls for a partner who embraces the company’s core competencies, including a growth mindset, results orientation, customer focus, professionalism, and a true partnership approach in team interactions. The wrapper assists the bakery team by supporting bakers and, when the designer is unavailable, helping with cake decoration tasks. Hy-Vee provides a work environment that is fast-paced yet supportive, where employees have opportunities to grow and thrive while contributing to a positive shopping experience for customers.
Employment at Hy-Vee is contingent upon the successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen. The bakery wrapper role offers a dynamic and engaging entry point into the Hy-Vee workforce for individuals seeking part-time or non-exempt positions with an emphasis on customer service and teamwork. If you have enthusiasm for bakery products, enjoy working in a cooperative environment, and are committed to maintaining high standards of product quality and customer satisfaction, this opportunity at Hy-Vee provides an ideal environment to develop your skills and be a valued part of a respected supermarket chain.
