What is the People’s Food Co-op?<\/h2>\n
The People’s Food Cooperative (PFC) is a consumer cooperative, an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise.<\/p>\n
We’ve been in business since 1971. We specialize in local, organic, natural food and cater to a wide variety of diets and lifestyles.<\/p>\n
PFC\u00a0staff work to serve the store’s customers, which means we hire people who are:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Customer-service superstars<\/li>\n
- Willing to learn different aspects of the natural-food business<\/li>\n
- Able to take personal responsibility for their work<\/li>\n
- Interested in having fun while working hard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Benefits for PFC employees include:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- 15% discount on purchases<\/li>\n
- Paid breaks<\/li>\n
- GO!Pass<\/a>\u00a0to ride free on\u00a0Ann Arbor buses<\/li>\n
- Health and dental insurance (if you work 30+ hrs\/wk)<\/li>\n
- Vision and short-term disability insurance (for eligible full-time positions)<\/li>\n
- Sick and vacation pay (for eligible full-time\u00a0positions)<\/li>\n
- SIMPLE IRA Retirement Plan<\/li>\n
- Depending on position, many staff members enjoy union representation through UFCW 876<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Where can I find out what positions People\u2019s Food Co-op is hiring for?<\/h3>\n
In addition to the right column of this page, we post all open positions on the bulletin board next to the store entrance. We may also post openings on other websites such as Indeed and MI Talent Connect.<\/p>\n
What if no positions are open now? Can I still apply?<\/h3>\n
We do accept applications even when we are not currently hiring for a position. We receive many applications and, unfortunately, can\u2019t acknowledge each one we receive.<\/p>\n
How long do you keep my application? Can I apply again?<\/h3>\n
Your application will be active for 30 days. If you\u2019re interested in an open position and it\u2019s been more than 30 days since you applied, you\u2019re welcome to submit a new application.<\/p>\n
What happens after I apply?<\/h3>\n
First, our Human Resources Director reviews applications and routes applications to managers who have openings in their departments. Next the hiring manager chooses suitable candidates to interview and these selected individuals are invited to interview at the store. Finally, the hiring manager selects the right person to join the team!<\/p>\n
Can I talk to the hiring manager for the position?<\/h3>\n
Out of respect for the workload our managers carry to serve our owners and community, we allow only those who are selected for an interview to speak with the hiring manager about our open positions.<\/p>\n
Who can I speak with if I have additional questions?<\/h3>\n
You can stop by the store to fill out an Application Follow-up Form, leave it with a staff member and we’ll contact you.

\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\nAre we right for each other? Ask yourself these questions:<\/h2>\r\n
Are you outgoing?<\/h3>\r\nIf you feel shy or awkward when talking to strangers, this might not be the place for you. We expect our staff to provide superior customer service\u2014to smile and greet customers when they enter the store, to make conversation with people from all walks of life.\r\n
Are you good at switching gears?<\/h3>\r\nEven when the store is quiet with very few customers, there is always work to be done. You may find yourself busy with stocking, cleaning and more. But when a customer walks in the door we must be ready to switch gears to fast, friendly service with a smile.\r\n
Are you willing to learn new things?<\/h3>\r\nPeople know us as experts in local foods, organic and natural products. You\u2019ll need to make an effort to educate yourself about the products we carry so that you can intelligently discuss these things with the customers. We are happy to assist you in this process, but the motivation must come from you. We expect you to ask questions and remember what you've learned.\r\n
Can you commit to a schedule?<\/h3>\r\nWe are all responsible for creating the best shopping experience for our customers, which means staying committed to set schedules. We try to be flexible, but we rely on our employees to keep their commitments.\r\n
Do you pay attention to little things?<\/h3>\r\nHere at the PFC, customer service is more than a phrase, it\u2019s an action. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our customers. It\u2019s the thoughtful little things that make each shopper feel special, like remembering what coffee drink they prefer in the morning, or carrying their groceries to their car. Simple, friendly touches go such a long way.\r\n
Is your glass half empty or half full?<\/h3>\r\nYou know how great it is to work around other enthusiastic, motivated co-workers. We need fun, positive folks working here at PFC. You know the kind of person we mean\u2014you always have a smile on your face, and the customer never knows when you\u2019re having a bad day.\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\" _builder_version=\"3.0.47\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_cta title=\"Current Open Positions\" admin_label=\"Open Positions \" _builder_version=\"4.9.10\" background_color=\"#e8e8e8\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" text_orientation=\"left\" background_layout=\"light\" hover_enabled=\"0\" z_index_tablet=\"500\" body_link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" body_ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" body_ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" body_quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" body_quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" border_width_all=\"1px\" border_color_all=\"#e8e8e8\" box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_vertical_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_blur_tablet=\"40px\" box_shadow_spread_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_horizontal_button_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_vertical_button_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_blur_button_tablet=\"40px\" box_shadow_spread_button_tablet=\"0px\" button_text_size__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_text_size__hover=\"null\" button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_text_size__hover=\"null\" button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_text_size__hover=\"null\" button_text_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_text_color__hover=\"null\" button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_text_color__hover=\"null\" button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_text_color__hover=\"null\" button_border_width__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_border_width__hover=\"null\" button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_border_width__hover=\"null\" button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_border_width__hover=\"null\" button_border_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_border_color__hover=\"null\" button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_border_color__hover=\"null\" button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_border_color__hover=\"null\" button_border_radius__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_border_radius__hover=\"null\" button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_border_radius__hover=\"null\" button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_border_radius__hover=\"null\" button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_letter_spacing__hover=\"null\" button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_letter_spacing__hover=\"null\" button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_letter_spacing__hover=\"null\" button_bg_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_bg_color__hover=\"null\" button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_one_bg_color__hover=\"null\" button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=\"off\" button_two_bg_color__hover=\"null\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]
