Sherman's: Proudly Not Normal Since '76 (and Counting!)

Forget everything you think you know about retail. Back in '76, while the world was doing its thing, Sharon Sherman was busy building something different – a side hustle selling clocks and gifts with a whole lot of heart. Fast forward nearly half a century, and Sherman's has blossomed into four locations packed with home appliances, furniture, and mattresses.

Sure, we've grown beyond microwaves, but our family values? Rock solid. Show Concern. Have Fun. Be Helpful. Demonstrate Integrity. Show Ambition. Develop Relationships. These aren't just words on a wall; they're the fuel that keeps us going.

Why are we here? Because we're genuinely passionate about our community. We're the neighbors who help you turn houses into homes. And it all started because Sharon dared to be different.

Here's the deal: At Sherman's, we're not just selling furniture and appliances—we're a team of passionate people who love helping others and bringing our authentic selves to work every single day. If you're tired of stuffy corporate cultures and boring teams, you've found your people.

We're Looking For:

Someone who genuinely enjoys helping people.

As a Guest Advisor in our Clearance Center, you'll help guests find the right furniture, appliances, and mattresses for their homes while creating an experience that feels helpful—not pushy. You'll ask good questions, learn what matters to each guest, and help them find the best fit for their needs and budget.

You don't need to walk in knowing everything about furniture or appliances. We'll teach you that. We're looking for someone who's comfortable talking with people, willing to learn, motivated to hit goals, and ready to be part of a team that has each other's backs.

What We Are All About:

Sales experience is great, but we're just as interested in people who know how to listen, connect with others, learn quickly, and provide an awesome guest experience.

Confidence Is Our Goal

• We'll give you the product knowledge and communication skills to feel confident in every conversation. Our thorough, hands-on training is designed to help you succeed. You won't be thrown to the wolves; you'll be set up for success with a team that has your back.

The Goofiest Team You'll Ever Meet

• We believe work should be fun. Think: sharing memes, debating video games, and keeping a fully stocked snack drawer. Our team is a little goofy, a lot supportive, and genuinely enjoys working together. You'll find a welcoming environment where you can truly be yourself.

We've Got Your Back

• We have minimum sales expectations, but we're a team that believes in lifting each other up. Your manager and colleagues will work with you to provide the resources, coaching, and support you need to hit your goals.

Quick Bonus, No Catch

• Our compensation plan is clear and straightforward. You'll earn a guaranteed $20/hour base wage. From your very first "live" sale, you'll earn bonus (that's what we call commission) on top of that base wage.
• You don't have to "earn back" your hourly wage—it's yours to keep, separate from your bonus earnings. We pay bonus every four weeks, so you get stability with serious earning potential.

Brutal Retail Hours? Think Again!

• You'll have the flexibility of a 4 or 5-day work schedule. Weekends are part of the game, but we value your time. That's why we close up shop earlier on Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00pm to give you more quality time outside of work.
• And Sundays? We’re all about the chill Sunday morning vibes. Grab some coffee, take it slow—we don’t open until 11:00am.
• Plus, you'll have the consistency of the same days off every week – no more constantly rotating schedules!

So, What Does "Not Normal" Look Like Day-to-Day?

• Helping guests find products they love at the right price.
• Creating an awesome guest experience from sale to delivery.
• Asking questions, listening, and helping guests make confident decisions.
• Building relationships—not relying on high-pressure sales.
• Supporting your teammates and jumping in when needed.
• Answering phones, completing peer checks, and monitoring open orders.
• Working across departments to solve problems for guests.
• Learning from feedback and growing your product knowledge.
