Sherman's: Proudly Not Normal Since '76 (and Counting!) 

Forget everything you think you know about retail. Back in '76, while the world was doing its thing, Sharon Sherman was busy building something different – a side hustle selling clocks and gifts with a whole lot of heart. Fast-forward nearly half a century, and Sherman's has blossomed into four locations packed with home appliances, furniture, and mattresses. 

Sure, we've grown beyond microwaves, but our family values? Rock solid. Show Concern. Have Fun. Be Helpful. Demonstrate Integrity. Show Ambition. Develop Relationships. These aren't just words on a wall; they're the fuel that keeps us going. 

Why are we here? Because we're genuinely passionate about our community. We're the neighbors who help you turn houses into homes. And it all started because Sharon dared to be different.

Now, about you.

You're the person people naturally rely on. 

Organized.

Helpful.

Proactive. 

A full inbox doesn't intimidate you. 

Neither does juggling five different priorities at once.

Checking something off your to-do list? 

That's oddly satisfying, right?

About the Role

You'll be one of the store management team's most trusted partners, keeping the business organized and moving forward.

The management team relies on you to provide proactive support. Whether it's noticing recurring customer concerns, identifying procedural inefficiencies, or recognizing trends in reporting, you're someone who doesn't just complete tasks - you think ahead.

The work you do behind the scenes makes everything in front of the customer feel effortless.

What You'll Do

You’ll make sure the countless details that keep a busy retail store running don't fall through the cracks.

• Keep the Store Running Smoothly: Balance daily deposits, generate reports, assist with store goals, and help ensure day-to-day operations stay organized.

• Welcome Every Guest: Be one of the first faces customers see, creating a friendly, professional first impression.

• Support the Sales Team: Manage internet sales inquiries, prepare information, answer questions, and help remove obstacles so the team can focus on serving customers.

• Own the Details: Order supplies, maintain accurate records, and follow through to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

• Communicate Constantly: Work with customers, sales professionals, managers, and other departments to keep everyone informed and projects moving forward.

• Adapt Throughout the Day: Priorities change. New requests come in. You'll shift gears while staying organized and maintaining accuracy.

This Role Matters

Your job isn’t to “stay busy.” 

Your greatest contribution isn't checking administrative tasks off a list. 

It's creating the confidence that allows your team to do their best work.

          When reports are timely and accurate, 
          managers make better decisions.

          When the sales team has the information they need, 
          they can focus on serving customers.

          When details are organized, 
          customers experience the difference. 

          When communication is proactive, 
          problems get solved faster.

Every day requires collaboration, sound judgment, and follow-through - because you know great teams don’t happen by accident. 

What We're Looking For

• Strong organizational and time management skills.

• Comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Excellent communication and customer service skills.

• High attention to detail and accuracy.

• Comfortable using Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Excel.

• Administrative experience is preferred 

If you enjoy helping people and being an essential part of a team, we'd love to meet you.
