Bookstore Sales Associate

About us

Winder Binder - Books, Art and Music featuring Chad's Records has been a staple in the Chattanooga community for over 30 years. We are a fast-paced, high-volume retail establishment on the Northshore that is a go-to destination for tourists and locals alike.

We carry previously loved books as well as new books, previously loved vinyl records, local and regional art, and apparel. We are constantly evolving, so the store may look different each time you come in!

We are a close-knit group. There are only 3 - 4 of us who work here, so we are looking for someone who would make a great addition to our close-knit team.

The position we have available right now is a

Long-Term (not seasonal) Part-Time position
for someone with flexible availibility

What do we mean by flexible availibility?
We are looking for someone who's schedule is flexible—that is, someone who does not have a lot of commitments or other obligations that would cause them to be unavailable to work when needed.

This could mean working additional shifts outside of your regular schedule to help out with other staff members needing time off (as they would work to help you have time off). Like we said above, this is a very small staff working here and this job is an "all hands on deck" situation.

We will need this person to be available to work during:

• Weekdays
• Weekends (Yes, that's both Saturday and Sunday)
• School breaks
• The holiday season (November - January)
• Summer (May - August)

* Please note - the inability to work during the weekends, holiday season and summer are truly a deal breaker for us. *

This position offers between 15 - 20 hours a week
(with the possibility of more if someone needs time off, it is the holiday season and we need heavier coverage, or it is the summer and we need heavier coverage)
This would include a few days during the week as well as working weekends. This IS NOT just a weekend job.

Some of the primary responsibilities of this job include, :

• Follow instructions with extreme attention to detail.
• Use the point-of-sale system and cash register with a high level of accuracy.
• Be able to categorize and alphabetize accurately.
• Able to handle working in a high-volume, fast-paced retail establishment.
• Assist the Store Manager and your co-workers with varying daily tasks.
• Help customers find the merchandise they are looking for.
• Handle having a job where you are relied on heavily by your co-workers (we only employ 3 - 4 people, so we need someone who can be here when they are scheduled).
• Not be on your phone/social media unless it is work related.
• The ability to engage customers in conversation.
• Stand for long periods of time.
• Maintain company standards of excellence through cleanliness and organization.
• Retain specific details about merchandise and share that information with customers.
