Customer Service Reps
Overview:
Microbial Earth is accepting applications for the part-time positions of Customer Service Representatives.

We are looking for about 10-12 people to work Saturday mornings as either a team or as an individual at the regional farmer’s markets. Other markets during the week, or on Sunday are also available. We have additional hours available during the week to help customers and do follow-up via telephone.
