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. 

Here's the deal: At Sherman's, we're not just selling furniture and appliances—we're a team of passionate people who love helping others and bringing our authentic selves to work every single day. If you're tired of stuffy corporate cultures and boring teams, you've found your people.

We're looking for: This role is a little different from a traditional sales position. Yes, you'll help customers and earn bonus, but you'll also help support the team day-to-day as a Lead team member. That means helping set the tone on the floor, supporting teammates, and stepping into the MOD role about once a week. You are someone others can rely on.

We're looking for someone who leads through attitude, consistency, and willingness to help others succeed.

What We Are All About:

Confidence Is Our Goal: 

We'll give you the product knowledge and communication skills to feel confident in every conversation. Our thorough, hands-on training is designed to help you succeed. You won't be thrown to the wolves; you'll be set up for success with a team that has your back.

The Goofiest Team You’ll Ever Meet: 

We believe work should be fun. Think: sharing memes, debating video games, and keeping a fully stocked snack drawer. Our team is a little goofy, a lot supportive, and genuinely enjoys working together. You'll find a welcoming environment where you can truly be yourself.

We’ve Got Your Back:

We have minimum sales expectations, but we're a team that believes in lifting each other up. Your manager and colleagues will work with you to provide the resources and support you need to hit your goals. We succeed together, and that starts with strong, supportive leadership.

As a Lead team member, you'll help reinforce that culture by supporting the team, helping newer employees, communicating clearly, and stepping in when needed to keep things running smoothly.

Quick Bonus, No Catch:

Our compensation plan is clear and straightforward. You'll earn a guaranteed $20/hour base wage. From your very first "live" sale, you'll earn bonus (what we call commission) on top of that base salary. You don't have to "earn back" your hourly wage—it's yours to keep, separate from your commission earnings. We pay commission every four weeks, so you get stability with serious earning potential.

Brutal Retail Hours? Think Again! 

You'll have the flexibility of a 4 or 5-day work schedule. Weekends are part of the game, but we value your time. That's why we close up shop earlier on Saturdays and Sundays to give you more quality time outside of work. And Sundays? We even let you enjoy a leisurely morning – we open a bit later so you can have that full Sunday chill you deserve. Plus, you'll have the consistency of the same days off every week – no more constantly rotating schedules! 

So, What Does "Not Normal" Look Like Day-to-Day? 

• Helping customers design spaces they'll absolutely love. 

• Providing top-notch customer service from the moment they walk in until well after their delivery. 
• Supporting teammates and helping maintain a positive, accountable team environment.
• Serving as MOD on a rotating basis and helping keep the floor running smoothly.
• Helping answer questions, solve problems, and communicate clearly throughout the day both with customers and internal departments.

• Tackling tasks like answering phones, doing quick "Buddy Checks," and keeping an eye on open orders. 

• Growing your skills through open feedback, learning from the occasional oops, and staying in the know about our awesome products.
