Protein Bar coming to Ballston, Now Hiring!!

We are always looking for passionate people to join the team. Look around the website a bit—at our food, our mission, our principles and beliefs, our locations—and if you think this sounds like the greatest gig ever, we want to hear from you. Most of our active hiring is in our stores where you will get:

  • An opportunity to earn a bonus
  • Flexible schedules
  • A company dedicated to promoting from within
  • A fun, friendly atmosphere
  • Free lunch (or breakfast, or dinner)
  • Product discounts (think Kombucha at a discounted price!)
  • Health Benefits (full-time, salaried managers)
  • Paid vacation (full-time employees)
  • Direct deposit

We are currently hiring Team Members, Team Leads, Delivery Team, Assistant Managers and General Managers.

Working at Protein Bar will be challenging. You’ll be asked to learn new things, try new flavors, and grow with every experience. We make mistakes—and we always try to learn from them. Our people have opinions and we listen to them. In fact, it’s kind of a requirement that you contribute in this way. You will share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns—we promise to always listen to you, even if we can’t always give you what you want. You’ll be treated fairly—and also held to a pretty high standard regarding performance. If you choose, you will grow from this.

Our goal is that you look back and say “I’m a better person now than I was before I joined Protein Bar.” You will take the responsibility for your career—and we will be there to provide expectations, resources, tools, feedback, and praise. If you join our team and stay for a month, you’ll probably think this is all BS. If you join our team and say for year, you’ll know exactly what we are talking about.

Sound good? We thought so. Apply now »
