6. You're a team player - #teamwork! You're always willing to assist your team in #gettingthejobdone.
7. You've got integrity! You do the right thing and you always adhere to AEO's policies & procedures.

YOU'D BE GREAT FOR THIS ROLE IF:

2. You're full of energy and can handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
3. You're available to work when guests shop (lookin' at your evenings, weekends & holidays!)
4. You love AE and Aerie products.
5. You've worked in retail before. #practicemakesperfect
6. You're at least 16 years of age.

OUR BRAND AMBASSADORS LOVE AEO BECAUSE:

2. They're given opportunities for development, the chance to learn new skills, and are offered great potential for career advancement.
3. They receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year-round (plus additional seasonal discounts with new Floorsets!)
4. They participate in store contests for the chance to win FREE merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
