As a Customer Experience Representative (CER) you are a part of a diverse team who encourages each other everyday to approach our roles with kindness and care.

The holidays can be a stressful and difficult time for some, and as a customer service expert, dealing with hundreds of people a week, you are someone who comes to work with compassion, patience, and empathy while maintaining a fun-loving energy.

• Share ideas with Leadership Team on how to improve the employee and customer experience

WHO YOU ARE (AKA OUR DREAM TEAM PLAYER!)

• A customer service superstar with at least 1 year of making people smile (experience preferred, but enthusiasm is a must!)
• A cash-handling wizard who can make registers sing (1 year of experience preferred)
• A cool cucumber who thrives in the hustle and bustle of our busiest days
• A chameleon who loves to learn and can adapt faster than you can say "bestseller"
• A customer service Jedi who can wave their hand and make any problem disappear
• A weightlifting champion (okay, maybe not, but you can lift up to 40 pounds safely – we'll supply the cape!)
• A time-bending wizard with at least 25 hours a week to spare, including evenings and weekends (Time-Turner not included)
• A schedule juggler extraordinaire, ready to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and even those mysterious "early mornings" we've heard about

Bonus points if you can recite the alphabet backwards while gift-wrapping a book with one hand! (Just kidding, but we do love a good party trick!)
