Team Member and Food Service at a Glance
We find that many applicants do not fully understand all that is required to work at TAT Enterprises, because many duties performed are not always visible to our guests. A Team Member position, which includes the main store, gallery, and café customer service, can be very rewarding if you like selling and helping people. However, selling is hard work. Meeting sales and customer service goals is challenging. There is a lot of physical work. Food Service positions, which include the non-register cafe staff, can also be very rewarding if you have culinary interests and enjoy working in a fast-paced team environment, however it is difficult work and can be stressful at times.
We Require a Friendly and Respectful Attitude
We expect all guests to be treated with dignity, respect and an exceptionally friendly attitude at all times and under all circumstances. We also expect our staff to be alert and interested in helping our guests, providing information about merchandise, clarifying items on sale, and helping with selections. This is not an optional responsibility.
Selling Is Hard Work
Selling is more than ringing a sale up. It involves making sure that merchandise is priced, presentable, and easy for the guest to shop. It involves dusting, folding and straightening merchandise, restocking and moving merchandise, and changing ticket prices. Often, you will work alone in an area without immediate supervision. This position requires that you are on your feet all the time.
We Work When Our Guests Shop
Our store is open seven days a week. Guests do a lot of their shopping during evenings and on weekends. Work schedules involve some nights and, typically one day of the weekend. Our peak time is in the summer from May through October. During these times we open early and close late. We expect our staff to be at work, on time, when scheduled.
