RETAIL FURNITURE SALES/CUSTOMER SERVICE

 Derbyshire's Unpainted Furniture is a 57 year old family owned business with a strong history in high quality, solid wood furniture.  They sell unfinished wood furniture from over 30 different manufacturers, do some custom work and provide custom finishing services as well.  The work environment is friendly and cooperative; fast-paced yet somewhat relaxed.Employees are expected to work hard but have fun at the same time.  There is a strong sense of teamwork with lots of support from management and staff.  The job is challenging and ever-changing, but not competitive.

 Derbyshire's is seeking a mature, friendly & energetic person for their retail location.  There are openings for full-time as well as part-time weekend sales positions.  However, this is not your typical sales job and the responsibilities are varied and interesting. Selling furniture from the showroom floor (as well as from catalogues) is very easy, in fact, this job is as much customer service as it is sales.The furniture sells itself; most customers just need a little assistance finding a specific size, style or wood type. Many also need help with decorating ideas. Derbyshire's will provide training, but job candidates must love working with people and be able to multi-task without stressing.
