PART-TIME RETAIL SALES POSITION
WE ARE PRESSING PAUSE ON HIRING UNTIL THE NEW YEAR!!
Rock paper scissors is seeking a highly motivated, part-time sales associate (with big-time impact!) to join a close knit retail environment. Must be
people-friendly, organized, able to multi-task and willing to work some Saturdays. Retail experience and/or an affinity for paper a plus!
Tasks include:
- day-to-day retail activities such as checking out customers, answering questions about products, processing end of day paperwork, etc. (it is retail, after all)
- unpacking, entering (aka data entry) and stickering new product shipments (feels like your birthday opening so many packages)
- merchandising shelves, restocking store displays and occasional front window installation (get creative)
- social media posts and marketing content generation for e-blasts (photography skills a plus!)
- occasional gift wrapping (bring on your martha stewart skills)
- store maintenance, including tidying, wrangling garbage and recycling, occasional vacuuming and light cleaning (if we had magical powers, we'd eliminate this, but alas we can't.... but many hands make light work)
- processing custom orders, including meeting with customers*, creating detailed schedules and estimates in order to help manage clients' timelines and budgets, and advising them on best practices (read up on Emily Post! and don't worry, we'll train you on this)
20 - 30 hours / week available, with 2 Saturdays a month commitment necessary.
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE WEEK DAY AVAILABILITY.
Pay starts at $15 / hour (assumes College Degree or working toward one) with opportunities for a $1 pay raise once trained on custom stationery (typically about 6 months in), and another $1 pay raise once trained in wedding invitation appointments (typically at about 1 year), plus additional raises thereafter based on merit. No health care benefits, but flexible vacation time. Thanksgiving and the holidays are our busiest time - please do not apply if you leave the area during these times. Vested employees have Simple IRA options and 5 PTO days, plus generous in-store discount.
*Full training provided. Note that, once trained, you will be expected to be able to conduct hour long meetings for stationery and other non-wedding invitations and announcements (birthday, showers, etc.) (this typically happens for stationery by about 6 months); and wedding meetings often last a full 2 hours (training typically completes around 1 year). Given the heavy amount of time we invest in training, our hope is for a longer commitment (2 years min) to working with us. Serious applicants only need apply.
If you're calm under fire, love to be around people and pretty things, and like to get creative, you might just be who we're looking for!
