About: Customer Service / Admin

1. July/August is peak DORM Season - Plan to be all in on Customer Service / Admin
2. Yes, during these months there are some hours for marketing, but by and large the fruits of your marketing efforts should result in the need for customer service as we handle the big increase in orders. Expect 10-20 hours per week of Overtime in July/August.
3. Beyond July/August service or admin is minimal, averaging 1-2 hours M-F.
4. Admin - It's a catch all, basically we are entrepreneurially spirited and your need to be able to tackle or help with whatever is needed is a critical mindset. Having a 'where can I pitch in' mentality is so very important.

When are we seeking to fill the position?

There is no rush. Finding the right fit is most important.

Often we are asked by candidates to describe our work environment. Sure, will do! ..... It's best described as quietly conscientious. Perhaps more introverted in nature, but not in a weird unfriendly way. It's just that we all have work to complete, a goal to do good work and we focus on getting it done. Everyone cares about what they do. We aren't a place with ping pong break rooms or required social outings or meetings ... we really don't do big team meetings. We are a place that is comfortably calm, drama free, where you can focus on your work and leave each day feeling good about it.
