THRIFT STORE MANAGER - OVERLAND THRIFT STORE

Thrift Store Manager

OPENING AND CLOSING THE STORE

Store Managers will be required to get the store opened and closed on time. Managers will write work lists for the staff to follow in addition to their regular duties. Every evening the money made during the day will be deposited and the necessary paperwork will be completed.

SUPERVISING

It is the Managers responsibility to assure that all staff, volunteers and court-ordered community service workers are being productive throughout the day. Managers are in charge of all staff and volunteer training. Managers are expected to handle all personnel problems and direct the employee to the necessary people to get their problems worked out.

CUSTOMER AND PUBLIC RELATIONS

It is the Managers responsibility to assure that all customers are being given the amount of service that they require. Managers are to handle all customer complaints and inform their supervisor of those complaints. Managers need to have a good working knowledge of the IYR programs as well as all of the tax advantages of donating to the IYR. As a non-profit organization we try to cut costs whenever we can. We try to supply all of our programs with items that have been donated whenever we can. We also have a voucher system that we use to “give back” to the community.

MANAGING THE STORE

The IYR has basic company standards that are expected to be met. Stores are to be cleaned and merchandise is to be displayed in a manner that will attract all types of customers. It is our goal to be stand out from other thrift stores. Each store has a budget for sales and expenses that they are expected to meet. Managers are expected to schedule employees, to provide the maximum amount of coverage with the least amount of people. Safety is a big part of the IYR. We expect that all employees will strive to maintain a safe work place.

PICK UP AND DELIVERY SCHEDULING:

All of our locations are able to deliver merchandise to customers and some locations schedule the truck to go to the customer’s house or business to pick up the donated items. The Manager is responsible for the truck and schedule, as well as the store.

PROCESSING DONATIONS:

The majority of our products are donated by the public. We strive to treat each donation as though it was the best. All donations need to be sorted, tested, cleaned and priced before being placed on the sales floor. Items that are not sellable need to be disposed of accordingly. Due to they type of merchandise that we handle, good organizational skills are required.

STORE MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and straightening is a very important role in the store. All employees as well as volunteers are treated equal and everyone is expected to assist with each of these.

REFERENCE MATERIALS

Managers are expected to know all company policies. We supply several different manuals to assist you in this matter.

OUTSIDE THE STORE DUTIES

Training is something that we feel is crucial to all employees. We have 4 meetings each year that the Managers are expected to attend. Two of these require overnight stays. In addition to these, we ask that Managers help out when we are opening a new store. These also may require overnight stays. We are members of the Chamber of Commerce in every town that we have a store. We also encourage you to attend these meetings as well as other community functions to assure that our name is getting out in the community.
