Porter/Dishwasher

Description

The Spotted Trotter is a wholesale manufacturing and butcher shop -- NOT A RESTAURANT. We are looking for someone to work in our production kitchen with a team of former chefs making beautiful sausages and salamis in a USDA certified, small facility in the heart of Atlanta. This is a Porter position -- washing pots, pans, and light kitchen work and cleaning. Cross-training catering, retail and service opportunities are also available for those who want to increase their knowledge base and get promoted.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF! The pay band for this job is $15 - $19 per hour. We promote from within, we pay above market, and for those employees working a full-time schedule, after 90 days of full time employment, we offer employee-only dental and vision coverage at 75% paid, STD, LTD, and Life Insurance at 100% paid, and we have a 401k with a 4% company match with immediate vesting. We also provide a monthly Retail Stipend for each full-time employee to use in our Butcher Shop ($100 for single employees / $200 for married employees or employees living with their children). If that wasn't enough, 6 paid holidays, 4 paid sick/personal days, and a generous vacation package are available for full-time schedules. What other small business is doing that?!?

We work hard but have a great time doing it. If you are in the kitchen and getting worn out and looking for a better quality of life, want WEEKENDS OFF, the ability to see friends and family again AND work 8 hour shifts, we are the place for you!

We are seeking go-getters, who are clean and organized, but above all have great attitudes and take pride in what they do. We are looking for a hardworking, organized, qualified person that loves the local food community and is looking for a top paying position within a growing company. This position will include hands-on development at one of the best charcuterie and cheese shops in the country!
