What are the responsibilities and job description for the Retail Sales Associate position at SPI Guns?
We are now taking applications for a position as a Retail Sales Associate at SPI Guns in Hinesville, GA. The job will consist of selling items (mostly firearms, ammunition, and other sporting goods), making loans, wrapping boxes, taking out trash, general cleaning, and sometimes other inventory-related jobs (whatever needs doing at the time).

It does involve occasionally lifting heavy objects such as large boxes. Applicant will need to be at least 18 years old and able to pass a background check, since selling firearms requires someone with a clean background. Applicant will need to live reasonably close to SPI Guns (within 30 minutes). Applicant will have to have at least some basic experience using computers.

This job is a chance to learn a valuable trade. It is the type of job where you never know what or who will walk in the door. It is a good job for someone who likes being busy and always having something to do. It's not for everyone, but if you have the right mindset, it can be fulfilling work.
We'd also like to convey some relevant information pertaining to this job. If we hire you:
- We will run an extensive background check on you. To legally be able to sell firearms, you must be legally able to buy them. The background check can take anywhere from 24 hours to 10 days and it will have to be completed BEFORE employment begins.
- We normally don't do employee purchases. With a few exceptions, choosing to work here forfeits your right to purchase items from our store.
At any time, feel free to come into our store and fill out an application. We are located at 411 W General Screven Way in Hinesville. Also, feel free to call me on my direct line any time and leave me a message: 912-255-5629. I am posting this on June 5th, 2024. I'll be in the office on the afternoon of June 6th and the afternoon of June 10th.
