Job Description

Behr Paint Company, founded in 1947, is a leading manufacturer of paints, primers, decorative finishes, stains, surface preparation, and application products serving both do-it-yourselfers and professional contractors across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Chile. Headquartered in Santa Ana, California, Behr is renowned for trusted brands such as BEHR®, KILZ®, WHIZZ®, and E&J®, reflecting a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and value. The company supports a variety of professionals including architects, designers, and contractors, providing them with premium products and a superior customer service experience. Behr fosters an inclusive culture where diverse perspectives are welcomed, ensuring a workplace environment that values every voice and encourages employees to bring their authentic selves to work. As an equal opportunity employer, Behr is dedicated to fair hiring practices without discrimination, upholding compliance with laws across all locations where it operates, emphasizing a respectful and supportive environment for every team member.

As a Pro Sales Associate with Behr, you will play a vital role within a Home Depot store, focusing on serving professional painting contractors who rely on Behr for excellent products and service. This role involves relationship building both independently and collaboratively with the Pro Desk staff, creating a welcoming environment for local professionals. Your responsibilities include greeting every contractor, understanding their business and project needs, and assisting them efficiently with paint and sundry products. You will manage customer orders, including tinting and mixing paint, ensuring that pros are equipped to get back to work quickly. This position requires an adaptable schedule with hours that may include weekends, holidays, and evenings to align with peak customer traffic times. The role is an excellent entry point for those who want to build a career in sales or customer service, with no prior experience in paint or sales required as comprehensive training will be provided. You will benefit from a competitive hourly wage ranging from $20.70 to $32.45, with additional bonus opportunities tied to sales performance, making this position rewarding not only professionally but also financially. Your success will be supported through continuous learning, collaboration with outside sales representatives, and integration into the effective team environment at Home Depot and Behr. The Pro Sales Associate thus acts as a key link between the company and professional customers, ensuring that Behr’s promise of quality and service excellence is delivered consistently.
