The Cashier role at Easterseals-Goodwill is a vital part of the retail team, responsible for delivering excellent customer service while supporting everyday store operations. Cashiers are the primary point of contact for guests, greeting and assisting them to create a welcoming and helpful shopping environment. Beyond handling transactions efficiently and accurately, cashiers participate in maintaining the visual appeal of the store by changing and organizing retail displays and keeping the premises neat and clean. They also assist in replenishing stock and managing merchandise on the sales floor, ensuring that the store is fully stocked and ready to meet customer needs. This role requires a proactive approach to meeting daily sales goals by engaging customers in a friendly manner and promoting the ESGW brand positively. Working at Easterseals-Goodwill as a Cashier involves a variety of physical activities, including standing for long periods, stooping, bending, and carrying stock items throughout the shift, excluding breaks. The role demands someone who can work independently while performing repetitive tasks, yet remains flexible to assist with other retail operations as needed. The work schedule is varied and may include days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, reflecting the dynamic nature of retail hours. Candidate suitability is assessed through a background check process, with ESGW acknowledging that previous criminal convictions do not automatically exclude candidates from employment. This further reinforces ESGW’s commitment to providing second chances and supporting reintegration into the workforce. ESGW’s holistic approach to employment is also reflected in its competitive and comprehensive benefits package. Employees enjoy access to medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, along with voluntary products to suit personal needs. Paid time off, a 401(k) retirement plan with up to 4 percent employer contribution, tuition assistance, and flexible spending plus health savings accounts contribute to the overall support structure for staff. Additional perks include discounts on ESGW services and Goodwill stores, as well as engagement in an employee wellness program, all designed to foster a positive and healthy work environment.
