Follett is a leading provider of campus retail experiences, supporting over half of U.S. students with quality digital content, course materials, and campus merchandise. Operating in a fast-paced and innovative environment, Follett plays a crucial role in enhancing the campus life for students, faculty, and fans alike. With a commitment to delivering memorable moments from the start of each semester to significant campus events, the company combines tradition and innovation to meet the diverse needs of academic communities across the country.

As a Seasonal Retail Sales Associate at Follett, you will be an essential part of this dynamic team within the campus bookstore setting. This role is designed for individuals who thrive in high-energy environments and enjoy interacting with a variety of customers including students, faculty, and visitors. The position is temporary, typically lasting from a few days up to 90 days depending on the store's operational demands, and offers flexible scheduling options including weekends and different shifts such as openings, mid-day, and closings. In this capacity, you will be responsible for supporting the bookstore’s smooth operation during peak times and special campus events like graduations and athletic gatherings.

Your primary functions will include operating cash registers, processing various types of transactions including cash, credit, and financial aid payments, and assisting customers with their purchases. Additionally, you will assist in stocking, organizing, and pricing merchandise and contribute to the creation of attractive in-store displays that enhance the shopping experience. The role also involves fulfilling online orders for both pickup and shipment, helping to maintain efficient and customer-friendly store operations. Being a Seasonal Retail Sales Associate means creating a welcoming atmosphere, providing exceptional customer service, and being part of a supportive team that values reliability and professionalism. This opportunity offers an hourly wage of $15.00, paid weekly, with the added benefit of a flexible schedule to accommodate your availability and other commitments.
