Shane Co. is a family-owned business and everyone who works in our organization is part of the family. This family point of view is exactly why we want to take care of you AND your family. We hire just a fraction of the people who seek to join us because we are the best of the best and if you join us, you will be too. • We want driven and competitive people who help us satisfy the customers’ needs. We do not sell on commission, we offer a very competitive base rate and we bonus based on team performance because we genuinely care that the customer gets the perfect piece, no matter their budget. We also care about the environment our team works in…no “sharks” or people who try to steal others’ sales need apply. • We invest in your growth and development. We have a top notch new hire training program and also offer ongoing learning and development opportunities, both for work-related topics AND for topics you’d like to study outside of work! • We focus on providing you a time off package that is very generous for retail! It is important for us to be available when our customers need us so we do work weekends, however our hours of operation are the best in the business (We close at 5pm on Saturday and Sunday).

In addition, you also earn sick days and we are closed on 7 major holidays (unlike most retailers), AND you get an additional floating holiday each year AND we pay you for one volunteer day per year (you can join us in volunteering for our company’s work with the Kids In Need Foundation or you can volunteer at an organization of your choice)! The longer you work with us, the more vacation time you earn! • Unlike other companies who just offer low paying disability insurance to cover your major illness situations, we offer the ability to earn time off at FULL pay for the care of yourself or a family member! When your family needs you, we want you to be able to be there for them. • We offer very competitive medical, dental and vision plans, as well as a 401 (k) plan with a company match, company paid life insurance, and flexible spending accounts for medical, daycare or mass transit commuting expense.
