Batteries Plus - Retail Sales Associate, Including Mgmt. Trainee Career Opportunities

Do you enjoy helping customers find the right products, services, and solutions for problems that they are looking to get help with? At Batteries Plus Bulbs, we have a fun and exciting team atmosphere where customers come in looking to get help with the things they rely on every day, and you get to be their hero! Through the training we provide, you will learn how to take the necessary time and ask the right questions to really understand what the customers' needs are and then provide a much-appreciated solution. This opportunity will allow you to regularly use your mind, your technical know-how, and your desire to help make your customers' day, and at the same time earn a good living.

Pay: $21.00 - $25.00 per hour

Our pay structure is a combination of a base hourly rate, individual and team sales incentives, plus 'per piece' earnings for specific installs and repairs. We provide a $21.00 per hour minimum pay guarantee during your first 6 months, so that you have the time to really learn our business. If you perform at a higher level than the guaranteed minimum during the first 6 months, you will earn more than this guarantee. High-performing sales associates earn over $25 per hour.

Weekend Shift Differential Pay: In retail, being open on weekends is a must. We provide a $2 per hour pay increase for all weekend shift hours worked. If you are working overtime on the weekend shifts, we provide a $3 per hour pay increase for overtime weekend hours worked.

Training: No prior experience with our products or services is required, as we will take care of the training; all you need is a background in customer service and sales. For the first 2 to 3 weeks, we will provide dedicated one-on-one paid training for this opportunity.

If you like to provide excellent customer service, enjoy sales and troubleshooting, and would also enjoy learning how to replace batteries in various applications as well as repair consumer electronic devices, we would love to hear from you.
