Oberweis Dairy announced today it ramping up its hiring to build a large team of direct salespeople to cover its territory, including the Milwaukee area.
The company is hiring approximately 100 direct sales representatives to grow its home delivery business.
"We hope to pair a lot of people who need work with our need to get our message out to consumers," said Joe Oberweis, fourth-generation family member and the president of the company, which is based in North Aurora, Ill. "Even in this tough economy, consumers still demand high quality food products, especially when it's for their kids. And there's no higher quality milk than Oberweis. So we're going to take our message face-to-face, and that takes people. This is a win-win."
The company provides benefits to people who join its team full-time.
"In a market where many people need jobs to feed their families, we're happy to adjust our strategy to fulfill that need and simultaneously help grow our business. This is good news for everyone," said Lino Carrillo, the company's vice president for home delivery sales. "It's certainly not free money, but it's an opportunity when very few are available today."
Having been started on a dairy farm nearly a century ago, Oberweis Dairy is known for its milk in trademark glass bottles as well as its "best-in-class smooth and creamy" ice cream. The company distributes its products through its 48 ice cream and dairy stores, to thousands of homes through its home delivery service and through grocery stores.
The company is redirecting funds previously invested in other non-advertising marketing efforts to build a team of people to talk directly to consumers. Positions are available in Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit and Norfolk.
Interested candidates should contact the company via e-mail at salesjobs@oberweis.com.
