Job Description
Must Be Willing to Pick Up Poop because some of our guests are adorable... but apparently skipped Housebreaking 101. Do you believe a good day at work might include helping someone choose dog food, explaining why their cat is being weird, and getting an unsolicited slobber from a Labrador? We do! Mounds is an award-winning pet supply store, but this is
NOT your average retail job. What You Will Do
You will spend most of your day on the sales floor:
Help customers find the right food, treats, toys, supplements, and gear for their pet family members.

Basically, you’ll help people spoil their pets responsibly. Create a friendly, welcoming experience for customers. Listen to their pet stories (there will be many), answer questions, and offer helpful recommendations. You may also be required to admire photos of someone’s dog. This is not technically in the job description, but it happens anyway. Create fun, eye-catching displays that make customers think, “My dog absolutely needs this.” Even when their dog already has twelve of them. Working with your teammates to keep the store clean, organized, stocked, and running smoothly.

Because dog food doesn’t shelve itself. Learning about pet nutrition, products, training, and care so you can become the person customers trust with questions about their furry family members. No, you don’t need to know everything on Day One. But you do need to be curious enough to want to learn. And Yes... Mopping up Pee and Picking Up Poop
. Not all of our four-legged guests are housebroken. Some are... works in progress. THE GOOD STUFF
