WORK HAPPY:

Whether the cook in the kitchen is a future Emeril or a toddler helping to make chocolate chip cookies, chances are Pampered Chef has a better, faster, and more delicious way of getting things done in the kitchen. We sell our superior quality, innovative collection of prepping, cooking and serving products through a network of over 42,000 direct sales consultants throughout the US, Canada and Germany. Millions of customers use our products every day. Established in 1980 by Doris Christopher, Pampered Chef was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2002, a sure sign of our growth potential.

We have an amazing CEO, Tracy Britt Cool, a key member of Warren Buffet’s team, (google her story!), and are in the second year of an amazing reinvention and our initial results are incredible positive.

You will get both strategy and execution experience.
