The Pacific’s Keystone Weapon SystemNow Hiring! Career Opportunities
Available at JBER BX
JBER – The Exchange is where heroes work, and the JBER Exchange
is looking to expand its ranks at the main store, Express, and other
locations.
Benefits for regular full-time and part-time Exchange associates
include paid vacation and sick leave. Additionally, the Exchange’s
associate transfer program helps military spouses retain
employment during PCS’s, allowing them to keep their benefits and
build toward retirement.
The team’s deep passion for serving sets the Exchange apart.
Associates share a special bond with service members—85% have a
military connection. They have served in the Armed Forces or are
the parent, spouse or extended family member of someone who is
wearing or has worn the country’s uniform.
At the Exchange, 45% of the U.S. workforce is made up of Veterans,
military spouses or dependents, and the Exchange is closing in on its
goal of hiring 50,000 Veterans and military spouses.
Anyone interested in an exciting career with the Exchange can visit
ApplyMyExchange.com or contact the JBER Exchange Human
Resources office at (907) 753-4279 ext. 108 or ext. 101 to find out
more.
