The Company stated they need help in all positions – full-time, part-time and salaried management – and all shifts at their 106 stores in the State

Roundy’s offers employees medical, dental and vision coverage,
flexible spending account, life insurance, 401 (k) savings plan, tuition reimbursement, vacation and time off, and an employee assistance program.

If you're interested, apply in-person at a store or go here.

The run on grocery stores in the past couple weeks has caused the extra demand and Roundy's needs help stocking shelves, cleaning stores and more to help continue to meet the demand.
