If you’ve always wanted to work in a GW store, your time could be coming! As GW is hiring an army of retail associates and tons of managers.
The best thing about this job opening? They say it has no end date and are constantly adding on new retail associates. Seriously though, if you’ve always wanted to work at GW, and have the skills, this could be the opportunity for you! Whether you want to be a part of the team or to run your own store, this could be fun. Just to note, it looks like they are ramping up for when things reopen from COVID as this is a future vacancy position, so we’re not sure when you would actually start, or if they would just be keeping your name for when an opening does show up.
But let’s be honest, one of the best perks of this job is up to 50% off on all your GW stuff! We’ll be linking one of the openings below, but if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can find all the locations hiring.
