THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK
Born ready.

Questions?
Let’s talk about what a career at CORE looks like.
What does a typical day look like?
There’s no such thing. From food shows to sales calls, you’ll work across clients, categories, and channels. Every day is different. You’ll always be learning, networking, and solving new challenges that will sharpen your instincts. You’ll be expected to grow, but fully supported. It’s why people come to CORE — and why they stay.
Does CORE provide training?
Definitely. We don’t believe in sink or swim. We believe in mentorship, skill-building, and giving you the tools to succeed. We invest in continuous development with hands-on training, online learning, and opportunities to move into bigger and better roles. You’ll also have access to our leaders who still spend time on the road and are connected to what’s happening in the field.
How is working at CORE different than food brokerage jobs?
There are broker roles and there are careers at CORE. We’ve built our reputation with engaged leaders, a solid history of growth, and a relentless drive to innovate. Those investments show up in client wins and in careers that can evolve for decades.
At CORE, you’ll find:
- Team members who’ve built entire careers here
- Leaders who invest in coaching, not micromanaging
- Clear paths for advancement
- Opportunities to grow by region, channel, or specialty
What do growth opportunities look like at CORE?
Growth is earned in the field, but you don’t have to wait years to access it. Many careers start in Operator Sales, where you learn the business at street level: working with operators, distributors, and brands to understand how products move. From there, team members commonly grow into Field Sales or Distribution Sales, taking on larger territories, deeper relationships, and more complex execution responsibilities.
As you build experience, you have multiple paths forward.
- Coaching roles like Sales Lead, Distribution Lead, or Market Director
- Complex selling roles on one of CORE’s channel teams for restaurant chains, non-commercial, K-12 schools.
What sets CORE apart is exposure. You don’t work one lane. Our teams regularly collaborate with manufacturers, distributors, and operators, giving you perspective that most roles never offer.
