Cashier Job Description

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!

When it comes to gardening, you really know your stuff. You have a good two years of experience working in the gardening or landscape industry; 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 know how important it is to help customers be successful and you’re focused on teaching them the best way to use what they buy. When you see a customer you know it’s your first priority to make contact and welcome them. Then, help them focus on products that will help them be successful with their project. Providing the most accurate information about the plants and products is key to building trust with the customer. If they’re not successful the first time around, you’ll be there to get them back on track with a smile!

You also know that in order to make great sales, plants and products need to look their best. So between customers, you have no problem watering, unloading racks or cleaning what needs to be cleaned.  Because you’re self-motivated, you don’t need someone checking up on you to make sure you’re always being productive. You’re not afraid to admit what you don’t know or ask for help from other staff. 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 part 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 five years of experience? Tell us your story and we’ll happily consider your application!

You love working outside and like to keep moving. Because you have previous garden or landscape experience, weather is not an issue. Hot or rainy days don’t keep you from approaching your job with a great attitude. You have experience moving heavy items and you’re not afraid of getting your hands dirty. You’re friendly and enjoy working on a team with others. A customer needs mulch loaded in their car for them? No problem, you’re on it. Do your teammates need assistance moving pottery or a heavy fountain out onto the sales floor or into a vehicle? You’re there to help. A big plant order has just arrived? You’ll help get it unloaded quickly and carefully so you can get back to customer needs.

If you see the trash needs to be taken out or plants and display beds that need watering, you’d rather take care of it on your own before someone has to ask you to do it. You’ll never leave stray shopping cards in the parking lot. As orders come in, you’ll be eager to help carefully unpack, price and stock items as needed. You take care of the tools and equipment you use each day and make sure that storage areas are kept tidy.

You’re proud of the work you do and you do it with a smile. You’re looking for part time or full time work and are available on weekends.
