Retail Associate

Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop located in the Strip District Downtown Pittsburgh is looking for hardworking and team members who can have fun. The position will be for 15-20 hours a week, and must be available weekends, evenings, and holidays. Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop is a family-owned chain of candy stores, and we would love to have you join our family!

Here's what we're looking for...

Dependable - We are open 7 days a week and are looking for team members who are able to arrive on time and be ready to work each and every day. This position is mainly for nights and weekends with a few other shifts available throughout the week. We love to promote from with in, so there are opportunities for growth.

Outgoing personality - We need the type of person who loves to holler a genuine and friendly 'HELLO!' at our customers when they walk through the door. You must enjoy interacting with kids (actual kids and the adult kind), helping customers stroll down memory lane, and offering guidance and suggestions to clients shopping for special events.

Works Well With Others- It is imperative that anyone we bring into our Grandpa Joe's family be a team player; the candidate must be friendly, fun, easy-going, and have a sense of how their actions impact the entire team. We are a family-oriented business, meaning that we care for each other like we are family (the ones we like).

Neat-freak - Keeping the candy displays fresh and good-looking is a HUGE part of who we are, and we need the sorts of folks that are enthusiastic about and take pride in, maintaining a welcoming, and clean workspace. We encourage our employees to show off their creativity!

Great energy - We love bona fide smiles, and not the forced kind. We've got a bright, energetic crew that's like a big happy family, and it's vitally important that our customers feel the love when they're in our store. We are looking for that self-motivated person, who can balance taking direction and helping to push the store to excel towards the next level.

Did we just describe you?

Believe it or not, retail experience is secondary to all of those points of interest, but it does help, especially if you're a great sales person. At the end of the day, though, the most important thing is finding good people who we can trust to give our customers the Grandpa Joe's experience. If you think you're that person, please apply for this position! Must love chickens.

Earned PTO and Sick time as well as team member discounts available for all team members.
