CARLISLE, Pa. – The GIANT Company announced today it is now hiring an additional 4,000 part- and full-time team members to meet the continuing demand for groceries both now and into the busy holiday season.
The company hiring spree includes jobs for its new store at 6301 Grayson Road in Harrisburg slated to open Oct. 23. Part- and full-time positions at the new location and at other stores across the chain include cashiers, stocking, deli and other fresh departments. The GIANT Company’s distribution center in Carlisle, Pa., as well as the GIANT Direct facilities in Camp Hill and Lancaster, are also hiring for positions that include order selectors and delivery drivers.
“We’re excited to see the team coming together for our new store in Harrisburg, and we’re looking for even more caring and enthusiastic team members,” said Matthew Lutcavage, vice president of human resources, The GIANT Company. “With the increased demand for both in-store and online grocery shopping continuing, we are looking to hire in all areas of the business throughout the holiday season and beyond, helping us deliver on our purpose of connecting families for a better future, while having fun along the way.”

This is in addition to the six weeks paid short-term disability for birthing mothers. The paid parental leave complements the competitive wages and benefits available to eligible team members, including paid time off, education reimbursement, healthcare and disability coverage.
