This job is for evenings and weekends. Generally, it's 2-3 shifts during the week and will be every other weekend. In the spring (May and June) we get busy so more hours will be available, and you'd be scheduled more weekend shifts in a row. We do make it a point to have a flexible schedule and can schedule around other events and functions. We use an app (for smartphones) for scheduling, dropping, and trading shifts so that making changes to your schedule is easier and quicker.
You'll be on your feet most of the shift. We do require that you can lift 50 pounds, but we do have equipment for hauling anything of substantial weight. We also require that you can climb a ladder.
Ideal candidates are folks who have a full-time job but are looking for a few extra hours, People that are retired from the trades, high school and college students, or people who are looking for a part-time job now and would eventually like to have an opportunity to become full-time staff when the opportunity comes up.
We are your local hardware store and we are a part of your community. Ace Hardware has over 5,000 stores around the world with the majority of those stores independently owned and operated by local entrepreneurs. These hard working men and women are part of the fabric of your community. They are small business owners who are local and loyal...just like it ought to be. While others have become large and impersonal, at Ace, we've remained small and very personal. That's why we say a visit to Ace, is like a visit to your neighbor.
