“We don’t hire people to bake brownies. We bake brownies to hire people.”

GREYSTON bakery's approach to open hiring was an inspiration for us at WALTER. Like Greyston, people who want a job here can get one without a resume, prior experience or background checks. Here at WALTER we have what we call "targeted open hiring" meaning that we seek hire those who have the greatest barriers to employment. By choosing to recycle with WALTER you help create life changing job opportunities. Please see link below to learn more!
