Job description

Our Story

Our story began in 2006, when the Dowdell and Shellenberg families partnered to purchase three Ace Hardware stores in Livingston, Butte, and Anaconda, Montana. From the beginning, the vision was bigger than simply operating great hardware stores: we wanted to be the best employer in the communities we serve.

Since then, we've grown from three stores to five, expanding into Northwest Montana with Glacier Ace Hardware in Evergreen and Columbia Falls Ace Hardware. While our footprint has grown, our commitment has stayed the same. We are proud to be a Montana-owned and operated company focused on creating a positive experience for our employees, customers, and communities.

Our culture is built around three core values:

• Own It
• Be a Great Teammate
• Go the Extra Mile

These values guide how we work, how we treat one another, and how we serve our customers. We believe our people are what make our stores special, and we want to create a workplace where employees can contribute, grow, take pride in their work, and make a positive impact in their communities.

Today, our five stores serve Livingston, Butte, Anaconda, Evergreen, and Columbia Falls, and we're proud to be part of the Ace Hardware family. Ace combines the strength and resources of a nationally recognized brand with the independence and local ownership that allow us to stay connected to the communities we call home.

We've grown a lot since 2006, but our mission remains the same: we are here to positively impact our employees, customers and communities.

Sales Associate

We are seeking outgoing, friendly, and helpful team members to welcome and assist customers. Previous hardware

experience is a plus but not a requirement as we provide extensive training.

At Ace Hardware, we're independently owned and operated so helping our community is our number one priority.

Make an impact in the community by helping your neighbors with their projects while working in a fast-paced and fun

environment. Our mission is to go the extra mile for our customers and build a team that has the same attitude!

Ace Hardware is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a Drug-Free environment. Ace goes beyond hardware: build a

future, a purpose, and a community with us.

Work/life balance:

This position is with a team that respects your life outside of work. We believe in earning your trust through clear

communication. We schedule two weeks in advance, working with you so you can plan.

Learn and grow with us:

• Are you a hardware hero? Bring your knowledge and we'll teach you something new.
• Have a helpful attitude? We'll train you on hardware know-how that builds life skills.
• We train you from day one and the opportunities don't stop there.

What to expect:

• You'll work directly with customers welcoming them and helping them find everything necessary to complete their project in one trip.
• Like working in a fast-paced and fun environment? We are high energy so time will fly.
• You'll be on your feet for most of your shift (6 to 8 hours).
• You must lift 25 to 30 lbs.

Pay, Benefits, and Perks:

• Paid time off
• Health Insurance or discount card for medical, dental, vision, and prescriptions
• 401K
• Employee discounts on product
• Lenovo and Dell computer discounts
• Perkspot discounts on services and products
• Free coffee, uniform shirts, vests, and more

Ace Hardware is a nationally recognized brand built on a cooperative model that has been serving communities since 1924. Unlike a traditional corporate chain, Ace Hardware stores are independently owned and operated by local business owners who work together as part of the Ace cooperative. This model gives local owners the ability to make decisions based on the needs of their customers, employees, and communities while benefiting from the strength, resources, and recognition of the Ace brand.

Timberline Ace has five locally owned and operated stores, led by teams who know and care about the communities we serve. While the Ace name is recognized nationwide, our stores are independently operated by two Montana families (the Dowdells and Shellenbergs), giving us the freedom to make decisions that are right for our customers, employees, and communities.

Locally owned. Nationally known.
