Total Wine & More is dedicated to fostering a work environment that values diversity, inclusion, and personal growth for its employees. The company emphasizes equal opportunity employment and provides reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process, ensuring a supportive and accessible hiring experience for all applicants.
The role of Store Team Member, referred to internally as Merchandiser, plays a pivotal part in shaping the Total Wine & More brand through exceptional customer service and efficient inventory management. This position is available in both part-time and full-time capacities, with responsibilities primarily focused on merchandising but adaptable to sales, front-end duties, and other operational tasks as required. Store Team Members play a key role in maximizing product inventory by processing freight, organizing stock, building displays, and placing signage. They also support the company’s growing digital business by fulfilling online orders and assisting with in-store and curbside pickups and deliveries, which may include driving and making deliveries when assigned.
Delivering a personalized customer experience is central to this role, with team members expected to greet shoppers warmly, engage in meaningful conversations to build relationships, and share product knowledge through ongoing training in wines, spirits, and beers. Beyond sales, Store Team Members maintain awareness of current promotions, advertisements, and the growing loyalty programs designed to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. Safety and cleanliness standards across the store must be upheld at all times, alongside strict adherence to all legal regulations regarding alcohol sales, ensuring a compliant and secure shopping environment.
The position requires the ability to perform physically demanding tasks, including standing and walking for long periods, lifting heavy items, climbing ladders, and working in various weather conditions. Candidates must be at least 21 years old to fulfill the legal requirements of alcohol sales and must be capable of safely handling merchandise and deliveries.
Total Wine & More values its team members as its greatest asset, offering a comprehensive Total Rewards program designed to support well-being and professional growth. Benefits include paid time off, generous discounts, extensive health care plans covering medical, dental, vision, and prescription needs, as well as financial benefits like 401(k), health savings accounts, and commuter benefits. The company also provides disability and life insurance, parental leave, pet insurance, and additional coverage options for critical illness and accidents. Employees have access to discounted home and auto insurance, college tuition assistance, career development opportunities, and product training, along with consumer classes that promote ongoing education.
Compensation is competitive and takes into account several factors such as location, experience, and skills, with hourly rates at or above the legal minimum wage in each job location. Total Wine & More maintains a drug-free workplace and is committed to providing a hiring process free of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and other protected characteristics. This role supports the company’s mission to offer not only a great shopping experience but also a meaningful and supportive work environment where team members can thrive and contribute to the company’s ongoing success.
