Meat Counter Clerk

Good Harvest Market, Waukesha County's largest independently owned natural and organic grocer, is currently seeking to hire a part-time meat clerk.

The right candidate must have afternoon/evening and weekend availability. The latest our store closes is 8pm and the meat department typically closes sooner.

Our meat department combines an old-school friendly neighborhood butcher feel with a focus on humanely raised, grass fed and pasture raised meats and sustainably sourced seafood.

While this is not a meat cutting/butchery position, often times our entry level, customer service focused meat clerks will learn some butchery skills over time from our trained meat cutters. These skills are in demand and can lead to well paying careers in the meat cutting trade.
