- A collaborative, positive approach to working with a team
- Availability to work weekends, evenings, and holidays
- Ability to work on your feet for extended shifts, regularly use stairs, and lift up to 50 lbs unassisted
- Previous cheese, specialty food, grocery, restaurant, or retail experience is welcome, but we encourage enthusiastic food people who are excited to learn to apply.
