Job Descriptions
Cashier Job Description – Full Time
You’re the kind of person that loves engaging with other people: You’re never shy about talking to strangers. Smiling just comes natural to you! You always want to make a great impression on customers and make sure they feel welcome and taken care of. Manners are important to you both in face-to-face encounters and on the phone. In fact, juggling phone calls and the customer standing in front of you in a professional manner is a skill you’ve mastered. You’re never too busy to make sure a customer gets exactly what they need.
You’re computer savvy and have two years of register experience. Handling cash, making calculations and properly counting back change is no problem for you. You like keeping things tidy and will make sure that between customers you keep the register areas tidy and stocked with cashier supplies. Plus, you’re independently motivated: You don’t need someone reminding you about your daily duties.
You might have some gardening experience…but if you don’t then you at least have an interest in learning. You’re not afraid to be honest when you don’t know the answer and have no problem linking the customer up with sales staff that can help. You’re looking for a part time or full time job and are available to work weekends. Heat and rain don’t bother you because you prefer being outdoors.
Are you inexperienced on the register but have a passion for wanting to work at an independent garden center? Tell us your story and we’ll happily consider your application!
Assistant Manager – Job Description
Does this sound like you? If so, apply today!
When it comes to gardening, you really know your stuff. You have a good three years of
management experience; better yet you have retail garden center experience. You have a solid feel for our Houston climate and are very comfortable making good plant recommendations. Hot weather? Not a problem for you because you prefer to be outdoors. Rain? No problem either, because you won’t melt. Dirt under your fingernails? Always.
You are a people person! You are a leader and can keep your team focused and on-track to meet sales goals and be successful in their roles. You have no problem jumping in and help resolve conflicts with customers or employees.
You take pride in your work and have a passion for what you do. That passion might
have led you to already complete a TCNP/TCLP certification. If so, that’s great! If it’s still
on your to-do list, we’d love to help you complete it. You’re looking for full-time work and
are available on weekends.
Are you a passionate gardener, but perhaps don’t have official industry experience? Or
perhaps you have formal horticulture education but don’t quite yet have three years of management experience? Tell us your story and we’ll happily consider your application!
