CAREERS
Be Part of the Team.
You need to be able to work within a team environment, go the extra mile, be the kind of person that takes it personally, and apply that enthusiasm with a smile. We are also looking for someone able to work effectively and stand behind their results. Once an employee starts, there are no limits on the direction a career can take. A thirst for knowledge is a plus!
We're Employee Owned!
In 2015, we became Central Oregon’s FIRST employee owned grocery store! What does that mean? Our employees get to be invested in the company where they work through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As beneficial owners of Oliver Lemon’s stock, employees can benefit from the value over time.
Great Opportunity.
It’s an exciting opportunity for you to be part of a retirement plan that is invested in the company where you work. You can have a direct impact on the stock value – unlike with stock on the public market. Your actions on the job can help the business grow, which can influence the value of the stock, as well as your ESOP account.

Pay Scale
We believe in paying employees fairly for doing work of comparable character in line with the Oregon Equal Pay Act, and we’ve implemented an internal pay scale system based on hours worked.
This position is part of our internal pay scale, which means for every 1040 hours you work, you’ll move to the next level in pay until you reach the maximum of the scale – we call that “Journeyman.” Pretty cool, huh?
Reaching Journeyman is a big deal around here! Yes, it means you’ve reached the top of the pay scale – yay! It also means you’re someone we rely on to go the extra mile. You’re now that person who asks others how you can help, sees areas where they can help without needing to be asked, and the “go-to” person for new employees. We look forward to seeing you reach that goal.
