Do you want to be a manager at MOM’s?
The MIT program provides a structured and supported framework to grow MOM’s future leaders. It is an opportunity to gain professional development by receiving quality training with consistent feedback and coaching. As a MOM’s leader you can positively affect our store environment, customer experience, and influence the future direction of the company.

How the MIT Program Works

Focus on Leadership – The MIT program focuses on building MOM’s future leaders by putting the emphasis on leadership training. To do so, an Individual Development Plan (IDP) will be formulated with learning goals and regularly scheduled check-ins to track progress. Mastering tasks, such as ordering and schedule writing will be an integral part of your development as a future leader.

Length of Program– Most candidates will be on a 12 month plan, but it can be shorter depending on experience and other factors.

Working in multiple stores– During the program you will most likely work in a minimum of two stores. Working in multiple stores allows you to gain experience with varying sales volumes, learn to work with different management styles, and have exposure addressing a variety of unique challenges faced at MOMs locations. Due to the proximity of stores, a maximum of an hour commute is expected.

Compensation– Managers in training will earn $25.00/hour for the duration of the program.

Growth Path– When the MIT program is completed, you will have the opportunity to grow into a Department Manager or Assistant General Manager – with paths to store leadership and beyond.

Scheduling– MOM’s stores are staffed between 4am and 11pm, 7 days a week. An expectation of this role is the ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, holidays and weekends.
We offer a full range of benefits including:

• competitive pay
• exceptional medical, dental, and vision plans
• 401k and 401k matching
• 30% employee discount
