Assistant in Training

Summary

The Assistant in Training (AIT) and Assistant Manager positions’ primary responsibility is to fulfill our mission statement, “to create the most enjoyable shopping experience possible for our Guests.” Additionally, AIT and Assistant Managers perform a variety of sales, merchandising and operational tasks assigned by store management (e.g., cashiering, merchandise display and pulls, register procedures, and routine cleaning of facilities). Work directly with the Store Manager and Leadership Team to develop sales, recruit new teammates, and provide leadership.

The AIT and Assistant Manager will also share responsibility for training and motivating teammates and act as the Store Manager in their absence. The Assistant Manager position is a progression from the AIT position and therefore includes additional high‑level duties specific to that role, though the majority of job duties and responsibilities are shared.
