Base pay range for this role is $25 to $28 for Customer Service Associate and $23 to $25 for Senior Customer Service Associate, which applies to this specific role in this location only. Your placement in the range is determined through interviews, a review of experience, knowledge, skills, balanced pay with other team members and alignment with geographic market data. While we target most new hire offers toward the lower end of the listed range, more demonstrated sales experience, knowledge, and skills may result in a higher starting rate. Average performance will earn a moderate increase each year, while high performers can earn a very generous annual increase. Once you join us, we pay for performance and there is no ceiling to your base pay rate over time.

Beyond base pay: Base pay is just one component of our total rewards package. In addition, we include:

• Participation in a team bonus that can range from zero to $150 each week for every member of the store team.

Beyond pay:

  • Parental benefits including paid parental leave, fertility benefits, and child and adult care Flexible Spending Accounts.
  • Employee Affinity Groups with focus on things like parenting, LGBTQ+, and Grief and Loss.
• Though weekend and evening availability is required, we are closed when most retailers are open (with 7 paid holidays each year for most staff), and our hours are much more enjoyable than many retailers. (Monday to Wednesday 10 AM to 7 PM, Thursday to Friday, 10 AM to 8 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday noon to 5 PM are the hours we are open to customers.)

We offer training toward advancement, specifically in the area of management and leadership for all levels. With stores in multiple markets, moving with the company is also possible.
• While it is not necessary to be promoted here to be considered very successful, the majority of our management positions in our stores are filled from within and we are very proud to offer ongoing coaching and training towards that end.
• We offer internal learning that covers both career and personal topics, from skills like excel to photography. This is self-paced learning and available to all employees.
