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 saturdays! retail experience and/or an affinity for paper and design a plus!
tasks include:
- day-to-day retail activities (checking out customers, answering questions about products, processing end of day paperwork, etc.)
- unpacking, entering (aka data entry), and stickering new product shipments (plus some ordering / finding new + fun products!)
- merchandising (restocking store displays and front window)
- social media posts and marketing content generation for e-blasts (photography skills a plus!)
- store maintenance, including tidying, wrangling garbage and recycling, occasional vacuuming
- 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
- hands-on production on projects, such as bow tying (for wedding programs, etc.)
- occasional gift wrapping
20 - 40 hours / week available (could become 2 positions), with 2 Saturdays a month commitment necessary.
pay starts at $13 / hour, 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. store discount benefits, 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.
*full training provided. note that you will be expected to be able to conduct hour long meetings for stationery and other non-wedding invitations and announcements (birthday, showers, etc.) once trained (typically 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.
for the time being, we are requiring all employees to wear masks, even though customers are not required to wear them if fully vaccinated. we do require customers to wear masks during custom appointments given the longer proximity.
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!
to apply, please send a cover letter & resume to [email protected]
STRICTLY NO PHONE CALLS.
