Like to talk to people and like art? We might have the perfect job for you.

About us:

Robot vs Sloth focuses on art created by Seattle artist La Ru and a curated selection of art by 50+ (mostly) local artists. We are a small, family-run business, and strive to create a positive, supportive, and friendly atmosphere both for customers and for our team, located in the Pike Place Market. We are a LGBTQ+ supportive work environment. Our staff consists of 17 fabulous people (from both our Market and Magnolia location), most of which have worked with us for 3+ years.

Our goal is to engage with each customer so they leave knowing a little more about the shop, the artists we carry, or the products.

is efficient and detail oriented
is comfortable counting back change and inventory
can easily alphabetize
is an outgoing, friendly person, who is able to talk to a few hundred people a day (if you are shy or not talkative, this will not be a good position for you)
is excited about art and the Seattle art scene (a lot of our staff are also artists at our shop!)
has great communication and customer service skills
must be able to work at least one weekend day
is punctual
has a positive, welcoming attitude
is able to work independently and with a team
Must be at least 18 years old
Able to work 32+ hours a week
Job tasks include:

Selling merchandise and introducing customers to the different artists and products we carry
We have a sales training program and product training program
Talking to and getting to know our customers
Creating a friendly, positive environment for both customers and fellow teammates
Folding, tagging, and sku-ing inventory
Light cleaning (vacuuming, mopping, dusting, etc)
Creating buttons, magnets, craft kits, and more
Inventory (receiving merchandise, sku-ing merchandise, and restocking the store)
Filling online orders
Leading our sales team by delegating tasks, running to our studio/warehouse to get inventory, and (once trained) training sales team on artists or products.
Opening/closing the shop (key holder)
This job requires you to stand for the majority of your shift. We have anti-fatigue mats, but you will be walking around helping customers, so it is important to wear comfortable shoes.

What we offer:

Pay starts at $23/hr with paid sick leave, with opportunities for raises once sales training has been completed. We offer a regular, consistent schedule. For staff working 30+ hours, we also offer great health insurance (including dental and vision) which is available after 60 days of employment. We offer 401k, with employer matching too after 6 months of employment. Employees also receive a 20% discount, and 2 free shirts. Our breakroom has snacks, coffee, tea, and other goodies. We do monthly team/sales competitions that often include winning free products, food around the Pike Place Market, PTO, or bonuses. We also get together as a group for art nights, game nights, and outings.
