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 not looking for just any sales job. You want to be part of something real, something positive, where "dreading Monday" isn't in your vocabulary. You're excited to help people and work alongside genuinely awesome folks every single day. 

We know, we know. "Sales" can conjure up some… interesting images. But at Sherman's, we're allergic to the ordinary. So, toss those outdated ideas out the window! Let us show you how we roll: 

• Unpredictable Income? Buh-bye! Enjoy a guaranteed flat rate of $25 for your first 16 weeks – that's dedicated training time to get you confident and knowledgeable. Even after that, you'll have a solid $20/hour base PLUS monthly and quarterly commission opportunities. Stability with serious earning potential? Yes, please! 

• 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! 

• Cutthroat Competition? Not a chance! We're all about lifting each other up. Collaboration and shared learning are in our DNA. No gatekeeping, no stealing sales – we're a team, plain and simple, all here to help each other shine. 

• Need Sales Experience? Nope! Passion for helping people and building real connections is what we're looking for. 

• Greasy Sales Tactics? Not in Our Playbook! Integrity isn't just a buzzword here; it's how we operate. We live our Core Values in every interaction. They're not just on a wall; they're our way of life. 

• Just About the Money? Wrong Again! We're problem solvers, neighbors, cheerleaders, and maybe even a little bit of a counselor now and then. We treat people the way we want to be treated. We listen to create amazing experiences, not just close deals. 

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. 

• Being a tech-savvy resource on the showroom floor with your laptop, ready to assist without being stuck at a desk. 

• 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.
