Company description We are a worker owned chocolate company in the heart of Vermont, using high quality cocoa beans that return a good wage to Central American farmers. Recently we have grown and become two locations, and we intend to slowly grow into a national urban chain of small chocolate factory community centers. We curiously, obsessively source our favorite local maple syrup, maple sugar, fresh cream, butter, goat milk caramel and connections.  

Our owners are politically active, taking part in local government around progressive food and workplace legislation.  Our workplace environment is warm, inclusive, productive and sometimes irreverent.  We expect everyone to do their best, to be truly connected to their work, and to communicate well with others.  In exchange, we offer equal profit sharing among all owners, an educational 2-year track to ownership eligibility for all workers, and a "Euro-style" vacation benefit designed to encourage the personal, individual development of long term teammates. We seek the involvement of those interested in participating in the organization as slow-buy-in worker owners. What is required is NOT a large financial infusion, but rather a willingness to adopt a full accountability to the profitability of the organization and the willingness to learn and study the patterns of the business that lead to financial gain for all workers. Ideal candidates may never have owned a business but are interested in doing so! Job description Load our maple butter toffee with organic roasted salted pistachios, ladle melted chocolate into branded bar moulds and pour a batch of our Planned Parenthood fundraising Chocolate Vulvas.  All is bliss in the chocolate kitchen! Please join our team and embark on the years-long, apprenticeship-style learning involved in artisan confection.

Ideal candidates will be available  
1pm-9pm  on Mondays & Tuesdays to make ganaches at our Montpelier kitchen
10am-6pm on Saturday & Sunday to dip toffee and truffles at our Middlesex kitchen

We have an unusual business model that aims to maximize the autonomy and natural powers of all workers, as well as the long term stability of the organization. To that end, we avoid full time administrators, marketers, executives or managers and instead, all workers and owners spend at least half of their time in the making, wrapping or serving of our artisan food and craft goods. 

We seek a new candidate to make chocolate with us, and, in a time suitable to each worker, assume a bit of the responsibility for the business operations. After a two year learning process, workers are eligible to rise to ownership and earn an equal share of profits with all owners.  Compensation this position is : hourly Application instructions Deadlineno deadline
