• Assist with filing, paperwork, labels, data entry, and general administrative tasks.
• Learn our products, systems, and procedures over time.
• Provide friendly and professional customer service throughout the day.

• Reliable and dependable attendance.

• Ability to follow directions and know when to refer a customer or question to an experienced salesperson.
• Retail, contractor-supply, hardware, or customer-service experience is helpful but not required.

  -12:00 p.m., no more than once per month.

This is a storefront support and customer-service position, not an experienced inside-sales position.

We are looking for someone who wants to become a dependable part of our team, learn the business, and grow their knowledge of our products and systems.

If you are reliable, personable, organized, and enjoy helping customers, we'd like to hear from you.
