!!This position requires a strong interest and knowledge in current fashion and style, especially for youth (men and women) 15-25 years olds!!
Work-Life Balance. The ideal for all retail managers!
We asked lots of store managers what they need to keep work-life balance (remembering this is still retail). Here's the answers:
- Scratch the overnight floor moves/shifts
- Drop the constant overtime
- Reduce blackout dates so vacations are possible
- Provide mobile-based tools to make the job easier
We made sure these needs are met at Plato's Closet in Plano. Our managers have NEVER worked overnight, and NEVER come in before 8am. Our busy time is the summer instead of the winter holidays (time to decorate and shop personally!) We have invested in lots of digital tools for recruiting, onboarding, scheduling, buying, and communicating with the team.
WHAT WE DO: Plato's Closet is a resale store that buys and sells name brand, gently-used clothing and accessories for teens and young adults. We've been around for 22 years in Plano, and we're a stable business.
BUYING FOCUS: Unlike traditional retail, with it's emphasis on presentation, the most important part of the manager's job at Plato's is to source, buy and manage quality inventory, using reports, personal knowledge and excellent training of the buying staff.
TRAINING: As a manager in training, you will work alongside our experienced Store Manager in Plano, learning the ropes and getting ready to take over in just a few months. If you already have store manager experience, that's cool, we'll still teach you what it takes to manage a busy resale shop.
The job includes all aspects of retail store management, including
- supervising and training a staff of 20-25 employees
- sales and visual merchandising
- assisting with social media accounts
- AND you get to buy your own inventory every day, set the tone in your store, and have a say in how you choose product and merchandise. No planograms!
We offer
- lots of training (structured and hands-on),
- competitve pay based on prior experience/role
- achievable bonuses up to 5K
- paid time off
- Casual dress code
- discounts on our HUUGE and ever-changing selection of gently used brand name clothing
