Grow Your Career With Us

Join a team that cares deeply about food, people, and the planet. At our co-op, your work matters—and your values do too.

What We Bring to the Table (Besides Great Food)

Working here comes with more than a paycheck. From food discounts to a workplace rooted in community and care, our benefits are all about supporting you. Take a look at what we offer—you might be surprised by how good it feels to work where your values live.

  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance

    We offer comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance options for qualifying team members. Whether it’s routine care or the unexpected, we’ve got plans to help you stay well and feel supported—because caring for our team is just as important as caring for our community.

  • 20% Employee Discount

    Team members enjoy 20% off nearly everything in the store—including fresh, local, and organic favorites. It’s one of our favorite perks and a tasty way to support the same good food and small producers we all believe in.

  • Paid Time Off (PTO)

    Everyone deserves time to rest and recharge. Our PTO benefits are available to both full-time and part-time team members, because we know that balance matters no matter your schedule. Take the time you need—you’ve earned it.

  • Gain Sharing Bonus Program

    When the co-op thrives, we all share in the success. Through our Gain Sharing program, bonuses are paid out quarterly when we meet our goals—and every team member earns their share based on the hours they’ve worked. It’s one more way we grow together and celebrate the collective effort behind our success.

  • Growth-Based Pay

    We believe in rewarding growth. Your starting wage is just that—a starting point. With regular reviews, your pay is evaluated and adjusted based on your performance and progress.

  • Paid Lunch Breaks

    Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a moment to recharge, we offer paid 15- or 30-minute lunch breaks so you can refuel without clock-watching. It’s just one of the ways we help support balance during your day.

  • Free Coffee, Tea & Water

    Perk up on us! All team members can help themselves to free coffee, tea, and refreshing water during their shifts. Whether you’re fueling up for the day or winding down, we’ve got your cup covered.

I like working here because I have the best coworkers ever! It is a super friendly and caring environment. City Center Market is the best place I have ever worked & I have been here 15+ years. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!

I’ve grown a lot in my time here (going on 8 years!). I started out learning the basics, and now I’ve really been able to step up and take ownership of what I do and my role as Marketing Coordinator. My manager trusts me, and that means a lot. What makes it even better is being part of a team that actually cares about each other—we’ve got something really special!

Working at City Center Market has been a great experience. What makes it special is the community, both staff and the people that shop here. They’re so genuine and fun to be around. It makes going to work something I look forward to!

City Center Market is a great place to work providing high quality food & products that are ethically and sustainably sourced. I am proud of our emphasis on local producers. My co-workers are great and committed to providing the best stuff for our community. Right now is an especially exciting time as we are all involved in a coming expansion which will enable us to bring much more to our community! 

I love that City Center Market is a space for employees to invest creatively. I also love that I can greet my customers by name!
