Working at Weiland’s … please read this first:
Working at Weiland’s means that you agree to make a serious commitment to providing great customer
service, learning about great food, and bringing positive energy to work every day. We know not
everyone will care as much about these things as we do. If Weiland’s isn’t for you, we wish you the best
in your job search. If you think this is the place for you, we’d love for you to fill out this application.
Two important notes: Please make sure your application is complete, including your references; we won’t
schedule an interview with you if your application isn’t complete. Also, we are a Drug-Free Workplace,
and you will be tested for drugs shortly after you’re hired (our test is cheat-proof).
