This may be the right job for you if:

The good news is that we have some amazing training that will help teach you every thing you need to know to be a Guest Advocate. But, there are a few skills you should have from the get-go:

  • Communicating effectively, including using positive language and attentive to guests needs

  • Work both independently and with a team
  • Capability to remain focused and composed in a fast-paced environment and accomplish multiple tasks within established timeframes

We are an awesome place to work and care about our teams, so we want to make sure we are clear on a few more basics that we expect:

  • Accurately handle checkout operations, transactions, and support cash office operations as needed
  • Scan, handle and move merchandise efficiently and safely, including frequently lifting or moving product up to 10 pounds and occasionally lifting or moving merchandise up to 44 pounds without additional assistance from others.
