What You’ll Do:

• Create Magical Moments: Be the reason our guests have the most enjoyable and unique shopping experience ever! From welcoming smiles to exciting product demos, you'll make each interaction fun and meaningful.
• Be a Store Superstar: Help with day-to-day operations, ensuring the store runs smoothly and efficiently. Whether you're restocking shelves or helping a guest find the perfect item, you'll always be ready to lend a hand.
• Engage & Entertain: Bring your positive energy to every customer interaction, making shopping an experience they'll never forget.

What to Expect:

• Keep Moving: You'll be on your feet, moving around the store, helping customers, and creating displays. You might also need to reach, bend, stoop, or even crawl from time to time (don't worry, we've got your back!).
• Light Lifting: Occasionally, you'll need to lift or move up to 15 pounds, but nothing too heavy.
