Dog-Friendly Place
No secret here—we love our dogs. Several of us bring our best friends to work with us to keep tail-wagging a part of every work day. That being the case, it's important for anyone considering working at PNTA to be comfortable in a dog-friendly work environment. We hope that describes you.
Retail Store Sales
PNTA operates the only real go-to retail store in the Northwest for theatrical and presentation equipment, supplies, and know-how. Our store products range from professional make-up and stage and scenic design, to rigging products, complex lighting, audio, consumables and parts. We are known for helping our customers buy the right products for their needs. Most of our customers are located in the Pacific Northwest, but we serve clients located throughout the U.S. and even outside the U.S. Our customers are varied, including the largest theatrical performance venues to the small civic theatre or non-theatre groups utilizing borrowed spaces, from the largest universities to elementary schools or houses of worship, from cruise ships to clubs. We see our retail store (both the brick and mortar and online versions) as a significant product and knowledge-of-use training ground and we have a history of promoting both in the store and from the store into other departments.
If you have appropriate knowledge and experience and enjoy sales, helping provide retail customers standing in front of you or on the phone with excellent service, we would like to talk to you. We need skilled, friendly staff who like to work with the public in an environment that can range up to having more customers in the store than we can handle at once without calling on other departments for help. The job does entail some physical demands, including unfettered movement between the store and warehouse and lifting up to 65 pounds on occasion.
We will be moving before October 1st into a larger store operation, so we are looking for the right people to help us build our business to a higher level. The position will be hourly and usually starts in the $10 to $12 range depending on experience. PNTA is an employee-owned company so we are also planning to award stock options to full-time employees. Interested?
