Join the Kerby's Team
We know that plants make people happy and healthy. Just a few minutes each day with plants increases positive feelings and reduces stress. Why not work in that environment daily?
At Kerby’s, you’ll not only get to work among flowers, trees, shrubs, and tropicals, you’ll also get to work with an amazing group of people. Here are some of the things that we think makes someone a good fit for Kerby’s:
1. You Love People. The plant world is filled with introverts that only love their plants. To work at Kerby’s, you’ve got to love plants, but you’ve got to love people more. Most positions involve talking to customers and connecting them with the right solutions for their gardens. And beyond customers, you’ve got to love working in a team environment and be willing to lend a hand to fellow staff members when needed.
2. You Love to Learn. If you love people, but aren’t secure in your plant knowledge, that’s OK. We can teach you about plants. What we can’t teach is a desire to learn. We are advocates of life-long learning and believe that finishing school isn’t the end of adding to what you know. You’ll get lots of opportunities to learn new things in a position at Kerby’s.
3. You Love to Be Outside. This is a requirement, because every one of our positions requires working out in the open air. We work when it’s hot, when it’s cold, and when it’s raining. If you don’t like being outside, working at Kerby’s will not be for you.
4. You Love to Get Dirty. Just about everything we do involves dirt, so you can’t be afraid of getting your hands dirty to work at Kerby’s.
We currently have the following positions open:
All-Around Super-Support Team Member
Super-Loader/Super-Waterer/Super-Helper = All-Around Super-Support Team Member!
Do you love plants and being outdoors? Are you dependable and hardworking? Are you willing to water, weed, load, sticker, stock and keep things looking beautiful, all while interacting with retail customers? At Kerby’s, our vision is to create a place where people who love to garden, love to shop. Where people can escape busy lives and focus on the beauty of their gardens. Where they can have fun, find success, and create something to be proud of. To realize this vision, Kerby’s is looking for a Super-Waterer/Super-Loader/Super-Helper and just All-Around Super Person to help us keep up with the little tasks that make the garden center beautiful.
The ideal candidate will be self-motivated and will reject “just good enough” in favor of making things look awesome. They will have a proven ability to interact with retail customers and will have excellent communication skills. This position will involve shovels, dirt, water, weeds, a few bugs, and all types of weather. At stake is the way the garden center looks to everyone who enters, so the candidate we seek must be friendly, genuine, professional, and have exacting standards. No retail and/or gardening experience is needed, but a love of plants and playing in the dirt, all while delighting customers and performing physical activity, is required!
If you are committed, are dependable, and want to join a company you can be proud of, we want to talk to you.
