Job Description

Follett is a leading provider of campus retail solutions, supporting the academic journey of more than half of the students in the United States. As a company, Follett is committed to enhancing the campus experience by offering top-quality digital content, course materials, and merchandise tailored specifically to campus communities. With a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, Follett serves a broad range of campuses by helping students, faculty, and visitors access the resources they need for academic success and memorable campus events. The company values a collaborative, high-energy work environment that drives exceptional service and operational excellence. Follett’s campus bookstores are vibrant hubs during academic semesters, offering products and services that meet the dynamic needs of their diverse clientele.

The Seasonal Retail Sales Associate role at Follett is a temporary, part-time position designed to provide flexible support during high-demand periods such as the start of a semester or special campus events. This role is particularly suited for individuals who thrive in fast-paced, interactive settings and are eager to contribute to the campus atmosphere by delivering outstanding customer service. Hired associates will be responsible for assisting with store operations, including cash handling, stocking merchandise, and supporting event logistics within the bookstore setting. With an hourly rate of $16.00, this position offers paid weekly wages and a flexible schedule that can accommodate various availability, including weekends and different shifts like openings, mid-days, or closings. Assignments typically last from a few days up to 90 days, depending on the store’s needs, offering a short-term employment opportunity with immediate impact and experience.

As a Seasonal Retail Sales Associate, you will be the frontline ambassador of the Follett brand on campus. Your responsibilities will extend beyond traditional retail duties as you help fulfill online orders, assist in merchandising and pricing, and support special campus events such as graduations and athletic games. This role requires adaptability and a customer-centric approach as you engage with diverse campus communities. You will be expected to operate cash registers accurately, maintain organized product displays, and ensure a welcoming environment for all customers and team members. The job demands reliability, punctuality, and a professional attitude, as you represent Follett during critical campus moments and contribute to an exceptional retail operation that supports academic success and campus life. This position provides a valuable opportunity to develop communication, organizational, and multitasking skills in a dynamic retail setting tied directly to educational environments.
