ACG is a collectively managed organization. This means that the workers run every aspect of the business – no boss necessary! In addition to providing financial services, you’ll be expected to learn the ins-and-outs of a democratic workplace and help operate the store. If you don’t know much about co-ops or collective management, we’ll teach you! Prior experience isn’t as important as an interest in having a voice in the business and enthusiasm for taking on tasks and roles that a typical grocery store wouldn’t ask of you.
Compensation
- $25-30/hour depending on experience
- 25% discount off groceries
- 40% off supplements
- Health, dental, and alternative care insurance for staff working at least 24 hours/week
- Bonuses (when the business surpasses profit goals)
