Job Overview

As a Seasonal Fulfillment and Receiving Colleague, also known as a Back of House colleague, you will play an essential role in supporting store operations, maintaining inventory accuracy, and ensuring a smooth customer experience. From receiving and organizing merchandise to picking, packing, retrieving orders from our back‑of‑house storage and delivering them curbside to the customer; monitor alerts to ensure Ready on Time completion of Buy Online Pickup In-Store (BOPS) orders, and you’ll help keep the stockroom and sales floor running efficiently.

You’ll also play a key part in customer interactions - greeting shoppers warmly, resolving issues, and delivering orders curbside with care. Your attention to detail, teamwork, and commitment to operational excellence will directly impact both customer satisfaction and overall store performance.

How our Fulfillment and Receiving Colleagues spend their day…

• Our colleagues begin each day energized and ready to make an impact. They wear their name badge with pride and greet teammates with a warm hello. Before getting started, they review their goals, learn about new products and promotions, and prepare the store for success. Whether receiving merchandise, tagging items, or organizing the stockroom, they bring energy and focus to every task to set the day up for smooth operations and strong results.
• On the floor, they focus on the customer - from greeting customers warmly to actively listening and resolving issues, colleagues build trust through personal, helpful interactions - on the floor, during curbside pickups, or through timely and accurate order fulfillment.
• Throughout the day, they maintain a shoppable space by recovering the floor and fitting rooms, updating signs and pricing, restocking merchandise, and supporting any needed merchandise moves.
• They always Finish Strong - sharing our Loyalty program benefits, making sure customers have all they need, and ending with a sincere thank-you, often walking the package around and using the customer’s name. Behind the scenes, they wrap up their day by organizing the stockroom, completing orders, and setting the team up for the next day’s success.
• We believe service starts with each other - supporting one another with honesty, care, and collaboration so we can better serve our customers and communities.
• And we know that excellence is a journey - we strive to improve every day, take pride in our work, achieve sales goals and learn from each other to deliver individual and store results.
