Board of Directors Served as Staff
 In 1976, the first year of the Coop, the Board of Directors was the primary staff, and the initial 300 households worked as volunteers. Since that time we have grown to two stores in Albuquerque, one in Santa Fe, and one in Gallup, with 196 full and part time employees.
Employment Opportunities
La Montañita is always looking for new staff members who have experience in the natural foods retail industry or a strong desire to learn about it. If you’re the kind of person who is always thinking about better ways to serve your community, and would like to make the Co-op members and customers part of that community, please fill out an application either on-line or at one of our locations, and view an interview schedule.
 After an initial trial period, the Co-op offers its staff members the following: a living wage, regular raises, and a staff wellness program, which includes one visit a month (free of charge) to a participating wellness provider in the community. Our benefits are open to both full and part time employees and include dental and health insurance, paid vacation and sick time (based on hours worked) and participation in our 401(k) retirement plan.
