The role at DSW involves joining a vibrant and energetic team dedicated to customer service excellence within a retail environment. Reporting to the Store Manager or Customer Experience Leader (CEL), associates are empowered to engage with customers wholeheartedly, offering personalized service to meet their needs and enhance their shopping experience. The position is designed for individuals who are enthusiastic, customer-focused, and eager to contribute to a positive workplace culture.

Employees will take on varied responsibilities that involve maintaining a clean, orderly, and inviting store environment, processing sales transactions accurately, and assisting customers with product inquiries and purchases. This role combines traditional retail duties with digital capabilities, as associates are expected to utilize company tools, including registers, iPhones, and other devices, to facilitate seamless customer interactions both in-store and online. The store associates play a critical role in representing DSW's value of "We Do What’s Right," ensuring honesty and integrity are at the forefront of every customer interaction.

Beyond routine sales tasks, associates help organize merchandise, manage inventory through receiving and stocking duties, and contribute to marketing efforts by promoting the DSW Loyalty program, enrolling new members, and ensuring customers understand the benefits of membership. The position also demands attentiveness to safety and asset protection procedures to safeguard the store’s assets and create a secure shopping environment.

Associates are expected to embody the company’s core values: bringing joy and positivity to their work, embracing feedback and growth opportunities, and fostering a sense of belonging where diverse perspectives are valued. Although no prior retail experience is required, candidates should possess strong communication skills, physical stamina to handle standing and walking throughout the shift, and the ability to lift up to 50 pounds occasionally. This role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to begin or advance their careers in retail within a supportive, fast-paced environment.

The estimated pay range for this position is $16.75 to $17.75 per hour, with the actual compensation influenced by factors such as experience, training, location, and organizational needs. While this range excludes benefits like health insurance and paid time off, DSW offers various benefits that vary by location and position. Joining DSW means becoming part of a forward-thinking company that values every employee's contribution and is committed to their success and well-being.Show Less
