Job Description

Ellis Home & Garden is a family-owned and operated business located in Longview, Texas, dedicated to serving the local community with a wide variety of home improvement and gardening products. With a rich history of providing quality merchandise and exceptional customer service, Ellis Home & Garden has become a trusted name for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts in the area. The company prides itself on fostering a family-oriented atmosphere and creating a great working environment for its employees, emphasizing flexibility and community values. This makes Ellis Home & Garden not only a desirable place for customers to shop but also a welcoming workplace for team members looking to grow their careers in retail and gardening sectors.

Ellis Home & Garden is currently seeking enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join their team in multiple positions, including Cashiers, Sales Associates, and Greenhouse Associates. These roles are pivotal to the smooth daily operation of the store and contribute directly to the customer experience and overall success of the business. The positions offer flexible scheduling to accommodate different lifestyles and provide an excellent opportunity for individuals who enjoy working in a dynamic retail environment, especially those who have an interest in gardening and home improvement products. Starting pay is $10.00 per hour, reflecting the company’s commitment to fair compensation. Prospective employees will find a supportive atmosphere where teamwork and customer satisfaction are paramount.

The Cashier position serves as the front line of the store and acts as the face of Ellis Home & Garden. Cashiers play a critical role in creating a positive first impression by greeting customers warmly, efficiently processing transactions, and responding to customer inquiries both in person and over the phone. Accuracy, promptness, and excellent communication skills are essential for this role. Sales Associates, on the other hand, are responsible for assisting customers on the sales floor, providing knowledgeable advice about merchandise, stocking shelves, and pricing items correctly to ensure a well-maintained and attractive product display. Their role is integral in helping customers find the right products to meet their needs.

The Greenhouse Associate position requires individuals who have a passion for plants and horticulture. Although previous experience is preferred, Ellis Home & Garden offers training for those eager to learn. Responsibilities include tending to the plants and flowers within the Greenhouse, unloading delivery trucks, assisting customers with their purchases, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping the Greenhouse stocked and organized. This role demands physical stamina, including the ability to lift 50 or more pounds repeatedly and the capability to work in various weather conditions. All team members are expected to demonstrate computer proficiency and be comfortable using retail point of sale systems. Weekend and evening availability is a must for these roles, ensuring that the store operates efficiently during peak hours.

Candidates interested in joining Ellis Home & Garden are encouraged to apply online or visit the store in person during business hours. The company’s address is 3110 North Eastman Rd., Longview, TX, with operating hours from Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 7 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm to 6 pm. Ellis Home & Garden not only offers a job but a chance to be part of a caring team dedicated to helping customers enhance their homes and gardens through quality products and outstanding service. This is an ideal opportunity for individuals seeking a rewarding career in retail with the added benefit of flexible work hours and a friendly, supportive work culture.
