• Your placement in the range is determined through interviews, a review of experience, knowledge, skills, balanced pay with other team members and alignment with geographic market data. While we target most new hire offers toward the lower end of the listed range, more demonstrated sales experience, knowledge, and skills may result in a higher starting rate. Average performance will earn a moderate increase each year, while high performers can earn a very generous annual increase. Once you join us, we pay for performance and there is no ceiling to your base pay rate over time.

Beyond Base Pay: Base pay is just one component of our total rewards package. In addition, we include:

• - Participation in a team bonus that can range from zero to $350 each week for every member of the store team including the management team.
• There is an opportunity to earn an individual sales performance bonus based on your participation in both team and individual sales that bring the perfect item to our guests. This program is open to every role in store, though those with a primary job focused on sales are much more likely to achieve it.
• Management team members have an opportunity for an additional quarterly bonus based on the year-over-year total store sales achieved by the whole team. The amount of the opportunity varies by role.

Beyond pay:

• We are committed to investing in your overall, holistic wellbeing and that of anyone who depends on you. Our benefits and perks include:
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Competitive 401(k) plan with company match.

• Parental benefits including paid parental leave, fertility benefits, and child and adult care Flexible Spending Accounts.
• Employee Affinity Groups with focus on things like parenting, LGBTQ+, and Grief and Loss.
