You must be able to efficiently manage large amounts of data (entry and calculations). We are looking for an assertive, self managed person that can solve problems.

Regular hours are full time 9-5:30 but may flex when busy as we have peak demand times of year. Summers and Christmas are slower periods. Hence, hours can be banked during busy periods and taken off when slower to match the company's and your personal needs. You must be able to help on booth installations at shows or do deliveries as required. This may happen on evenings and weekends and would be an exception rather than a regular occurrence and could take 15-30% of any given time.

• Ideally have working knowledge of Quickbooks

This is an entry-level position with a wage starting at $20-30/hr, depending on your skills and background. We are willing to fully train you. The wage is expected to grow quickly as your skills are proven. There is additional earning potential down the road, through bonuses by achieving work goals.
