Day-to-day tasks include assisting customers at the sales counter, processing transactions, handling returns and exchanges, and maintaining a clean, organized, and well-stocked sales floor. The role also involves learning and demonstrating product features, supporting promotional displays, answering phone and in-person inquiries, and collaborating with team members to ensure an excellent customer experience. The Sales Associate will contribute to store goals by actively engaging customers, supporting inventory management, and promoting KMS programs such as special orders, warranties, and value-added services.

Solid organizational and time-management abilities to handle multiple customers, tasks, and priorities in a busy store environment.
Comfort with point-of-sale systems, cash handling, and basic computer use for inventory checks and online orders.
Ability to stand for extended periods, move merchandise safely, and follow health and safety procedures.
Collaborative mindset and reliability, including punctuality and a positive “can do” attitude aligned with KMS values.
