Sales Associate

Baked by Yael • Full-time • Washington, District of Columbia, United States • $17 - $24 / hour • 1d ago

Who are we? What makes us special?

We are a nut-free and kosher bakery in Washington, DC, founded by a lawyer-turned-baker. We make cakepops, bagels, challah, and other delicious treats -- all from scratch. We also have gluten-free and vegan options!

Our team is made up of a diverse group of individuals of all different ages, races, ethnicities, identities, and backgrounds. We have a small bakery across from the National Zoo in DC. We also participate in farmers' markets in the DC metro area, and we ship nationwide. We are small but mighty.

What makes us special is that we care. A lot. We care about our staff, we care about our customers, we care about our community. Yes, we sell cakepops and other baked goods. We also provide gainful employment to 20+ employees. We partner with charities and nonprofits to support our community. And we bring happiness to thousands of people through our delicious nut-free and other allergy-friendly treats.

Who are you? What makes you special?

You're a naturally friendly and helpful person. You're mature and professional. You have an outgoing personality and love working with children.

What makes you special is that you care. A lot. You care about Baked by Yael's customers and want them to have the very best experience at their cakepop party. You care about your coworkers. You care about the company. You recognize that Baked by Yael isn't a big corporate entity; it's a small business. You understand that your actions, your attitude, your choices, can make or break the company.

What's the job?

- available on weekdays and weekends;

- able to lift at least 50 lbs;

- able to stand for the entire shift;

- comfortable in a work environment that can be very fast-paced at times; and

- comfortable with frequent task changes (over the course of one shift, you will be asked to wait on customers, make sandwiches, put together online/shipping orders, and perform opening or closing tasks).

Base pay for a sales associate is $16.10/hour plus tips, with a minimum of $17.95/hour. (Tips vary, but typically range from $2-$8/hour.)

Benefits for full-time employees included subsidized health insurance and a 401(k). Employees also receive free (and delicious) food and discounts on purchases for themselves and friends.
