Employment
Want to work at our wild bird shop? We are looking to hire a new sales associate to start immediately and work an average of 2 days per week. One of those days being Sunday (10am – 5pm) and the other ideally Tuesday or Thursday (9am-6pm), but there’s some flexibility with the second day. Occasionally working 3 days a week when other employees take time off.
Prior retail or customer service experience is required. We are looking for someone who enjoys talking to people and engaging with customers. A passion for wild birds or at least some experience with backyard bird feeding is highly desired, but at minimum a love and appreciation for nature is required. Need to be familiar with computers and have a basic understanding of Microsoft Windows and Office Programs (Word, Excel, Publisher). As a small business, we must wear many hats, so prefer someone who is a good problem solver and looks for ways to improve things. We pride ourselves on offering great products with quality service and expertise, so a positive attitude is a must. Must be able to occasionally lift 50lb bags and load them into customers’ vehicle.
Responsibilities would include:
– Answering customer questions and ringing up sales
– Unboxing orders and restocking shelves
– Cleaning the store
-Occasionally helping deliver products (you would be compensated for miles driven)
-Helping with any other issues that may arise
– Occasionally mixing and bagging bird seed, but most of this will be done by other employees
Starting pay will vary slightly depending on experience level but starting at $15-$18 per hour. If it ends up being a good fit, we can discuss raising this after the initial training period. The schedule is fairly flexible, just need to know your desired days off as early as possible.
