HoneyBaked Ham prepares for the holiday rush

9/29/2014

HoneyBaked is wasting no time in preparing for the holiday season by adding more than 10,000 part-time employees to its current workforce — a 600% total increase in its workforce across 400 stores nationwide.



"More than 2.5 million customers invite HoneyBaked to their important holiday gatherings during the holiday season company-wide, from Thanksgiving through the start of the new year," said president and COO Maggie DeCan. "We're happy to employ 10,000 people during the holidays when many need an extra income. These seasonal employees are instrumental in HoneyBaked's ability to deliver our great products to our millions of cherished customers during our busiest season."



For some, these seasonal jobs at HoneyBaked can grow into more permanent opportunities with the company. Mitsi Portwood, the marketing specialist at HoneyBaked's corporate office in Atlanta, started as a seasonal employee at a local HoneyBaked store while completing her degree. She then interned in the marketing department during her last semester and was promoted to marketing specialist upon graduation.



"Mitsi Portwood is just one great example of the many success stories that have come out of seasonal employment here at HoneyBaked," said DeCan. "We're looking for individuals who can deliver the HoneyBaked core values. Those are the types of people who go on to do great things for our company."
