Company News

We love what we do, and we think you might too. Despite being a relatively unknown industry, there are many reasons to consider a career in the foodservice equipment service industry. In fact, the list is too long to include all the reasons here, but we want to share a few of the highlights with you. We are always interested in hiring great people with an enthusiasm for their work, so if this sounds like the kind of opportunity you seek, we would love to talk to you.

Join the Jones-McLeod team!

  1. For starters, food brings people together. Friends and families gather around the table at their favorite restaurants to share good times and great meals. In order for restaurateurs to provide the very best product, it is critical that their equipment works at full capacity. That’s where we, as an industry, come in. It’s very rewarding to be a small part of this process and be virtually unnoticed by the patrons. In fact, if we remain unnoticed, we’ve done a great job!
  2. The restaurant industry is booming with new spots opening all the time in every area. It’s fun to be a part of such a dynamic industry and to be an important piece in this growing industry.
  3. Our industry is here to stay. As long as there are restaurants, there will be great opportunities to work with the equipment that makes it all possible.
  4. Jobs are plentiful and you can jump right in with little to no experience. Most positions do not require post high school education, which means you can start making money now without incurring student loan debt. How does getting paid while you train sound? Sounds like an option worth exploring.
  5. Employment opportunities span a wide range of job types and skills. Our industry needs warehouse managers, shipping clerks, parts managers, branch managers, service managers, parts salespersons, dispatchers, sales managers, service technicians, warranty administrators, accounting and business managers, installers, marketing, and IT managers. Needless to say, there are plenty of opportunities to jump right in.
  6. Each day is new and different, with fresh challenges and people, ensuring that there is never a dull moment.
  7. The relationships you build will last a lifetime. We have many employees that have been with us for decades, making a lifelong career in the industry and lifelong friends in the process.
  8. And, lastly, we offer amazing benefits, including training opportunities, 401K, health, dental, and vision insurance, and paid time off.
