Assistant In Training And Assistant Manager

The assistant in training (AIT) and assistant manager position's primary responsibility is to fulfill our mission statement, "to create the most enjoyable shopping experience possible for our guests." Additionally, AIT and assistant managers perform a variety of sales, merchandising, and operational tasks assigned by store management (e.g. cashiering, merchandise display and pulls, register procedures, and routine cleaning of facilities).
