About The Position

The Sales Floor Department Supervisor leads and enables a team of associates to deliver a strong customer experience. The role includes coaching and training associates, delegating and following up on daily tasks, managing performance, and ensuring adequate department coverage. Supervisors handle both customer-facing activities—such as greeting customers, clarifying needs, identifying solutions, and closing sales—and non-customer-facing work, including down stocking, inventory management, and area recovery. They also promote store safety through safety walks, hazard reporting, and communicating safe work and lifting practices. The supervisor works with leaders to identify approaches and behaviors that support sales and service objectives, then shares best practices with the team to encourage customer-focused behavior and goal attainment. The role may involve supervising associates in other departments as needed, requiring broad product knowledge and the ability to engage associates and customers across departments. The supervisor communicates concerns, issues, praise, and morale updates to management. Individuals in this role may occasionally open or close the store or serve as manager-on-duty. The role does not require regular travel, but occasional travel may be needed for meetings, training, or support at neighboring stores or outlets. It is an hourly full-time position, generally scheduled for 39 to 40 hours per week; additional hours may be required based on store needs. Morning, afternoon, and evening availability is required any day of the week.
