Stop & Shop Offering 300-Plus Jobs In Connecticut

CONNECTICUT — Stop & Shop's Connecticut stores are to host a one-day, all-store career fair on Saturday. It is another in a series of recent hiring events in the Nutmeg State.

Saturday's event is slated to run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Applicants interested in beginning a career with the supermarket chain can visit any Connecticut store for an on-the-spot interview, officials said.

Interviews will be designed to to fill the more than 300 permanent, part-time open e-commerce and store roles, including union positions in the bakery, deli, grocery, seafood, and produce departments. There are also unionized openings on the overnight crew, as well as for cashiers, porters, baggers, and home shoppers, officials said.

"Many members of Stop & Shop’s leadership team started as part-time associates. The roles we offer at Stop & Shop are more than jobs, they are growth opportunities," said Julie Pinard, the director of human resources for Stop & Shop. "We hope that anyone who is interested in a career in an exciting work environment focused on helping their community will join us on Saturday."

The open, part-time positions provide up to 28 hours of work each week. Part-time employees receive "competitive" pay, paid training, flexible schedules, a company discount, paid time off, and "career advancement opportunities." Cashiers and baggers must be at least 16 years old. All other positions require applicants to be 18 or older.
