LOVE "Dancing with the Stars", Vegas and Broadway shows?

We are the team that does their shoes!

Submit your resume in PDF format. Also, please let us know the best time for us to call you for a brief phone interview.

Only qualified applicants will be called.

Requirements

All of our teammates are expected to be tough-minded, motivated, smart and talented individuals. So while retail experience is great, it is NOT essential for the right candidate. Professional attitude, initiative, positive outlook, patience, and poise required. Fluency in Russian, Mandarin or Spanish is a definite plus. Ability to be on your feet for extended periods of time, climb stairs and ladders, bend, and lift up to 20 lbs essential.

One last requirement - MUST LOVE DOGS.

We have them. We love them. They are part of the work environment. Sometimes none are here, sometimes only 1 is here, and sometimes there are more. If you are afraid or allergic to dogs or cannot handle the challenges they sometimes present, this is not the place for you.

RESPONSIBILITIES
For our retail shoe crew responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, the following:

• helping clients by selling shoes
• receiving product
• packaging/labeling/pricing
• doing inventories
• shipping
• basic store maintenance and cleaning

You will learn a lot about our product and industry so that you will be able to help our clients and provide them with the correct options for their needs. We do offer growth opportunities for advancement to higher-level retail as well as corporate positions, and we like to groom from within.

CONSISTENT & FLEXIBLE PART-TIME POSITIONS
We are ideally looking for candidates who want consistent part-time work meaning once we work out a schedule with you, we don't change it. But, we know that retail tends to attract students who have mid-terms, finals, and changing schedules per semester - so we do our best to be flexible, too. That said STRONG preference will be given to candidates who are able to commit to TWO Saturdays a month (12:00 to 4:00pm) and at least two other 4-hour shifts per week. That means our minimum commitment is only 12 hours per week.

OUR BUSINESS HOURS
Since COVID, we had to restructure our business hours. Right now our business hours are Tuesdays thru Fridays from 12:30pm to 6:30pm and Saturdays from Noon until 4:30pm. We are currently CLOSED on Sundays and Mondays. We offer half-day shifts from 12:30pm to 4:00pm (which we call the "WALTZ" shift) and from 3:30pm to 6:30pm (which we call the "TANGO" shift). There is only 1 shift on a Saturday. We hope that within the next 12 months we will increase hours and be able to offer even more hours and shifts for our team members.

DRESS CODE
Our company has a corporate casual dress code with a black, white, and gray color palette. That means black pants, jeans or capris and plain black, white or gray tops. "Banker's wear" as well as skirts, dresses or any clothing that could impede someone's ability to climb ladders, lift boxes, or bend is not appropriate. That said, crop tops, sweats, hoodies and/or workout wear is also not appropriate. Finally, open-toed shoes and closed-toe shoes with heels higher than 1.5" are not permitted.
