Job Description

Are you passionate about sales? Are you looking for an exciting opportunity where you can grow your career and have fun? Are you looking to control your earning potential?

Orville's Home Appliances is proud to service the appliance needs of Western New York for the past 59 years! We are a family-owned business that has grown from a small single store to the largest independent Major Home Appliance dealer WNY.

Because of unprecedented growth, we are searching for a part-time retail salesperson to join our team at our Williamsville Store. Our strategic partnership with BrandSource, a national buying group gives us $20B in buying power. We’re big enough to compete against the “box stores” but small enough to provide that white glove service that customers demand and expect in Western NY!

Job Requirements

Basically, if you have the energy to succeed and are committed to providing first class customer service, this is the position for you!
