Job description

McMenamins Edgefield is Hiring Gift Shop Staff!

McMenamins is a family-owned company in Oregon and Washington serving our own handcrafted beer, wine, cider, spirits, and coffee alongside good, honest pub fare. Locations range from neighborhood pubs to historic hotels. We emphasize community, art, history, music, food, drink, and fun. McMenamins has seasonal, as well as long-term career opportunities! We value Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Description of the Position:

This Gift Shop Staff’s primary duty is to provide excellent customer service in the gift shop and to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for our customers while they shop. Duties include but are not limited to greeting customers, assisting them with any questions, suggesting merchandise, making coffee and espresso drinks, operating the cash register, accurate cash handling, cleaning, stocking, processing freight, opening and closing duties as they are assigned. Gift Shop employees may also be asked to work outside in merchandise tents, complete physical inventory, and set up merchandise presentations in the store. Gift Shop employees will be trained on all McMenamin products including wine, liquor, beer and coffee and should be able to make recommendations and suggestions to customers shopping with us. Since the gift shop is located close to the front desk, which is the central point of the property, the position requires keeping abreast of all events on property and being prepared to answer customer questions as needed. This position requires mental agility and the ability to effectively multi-task in an occasionally fast paced and deadline-oriented environment. Gift Shop Staff must also have the ability to work well independently and as a member of a team.

Benefits We Offer:

  • Perks and employee discounts:$45 hotel rooms, 40% off bottles of wine, access to concerts.
  • Happy Hour beverage pricing all day, 40% off McMenamins apparel & spa services, shift food credits and more.
  • Comprehensive insurance benefits package, including vision, medical, dental, chiro and alternative care to eligible employees
  • 401(K)plan with employer contribution to eligible employees
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Neighborhood pubs and hotels with opportunities to work at other locations like our winery or concerts
    Belief in a work life balance
  • Be part of a fun team and having a positive work environment
  • Multiple career path opportunities - we have staff who have gone from front desk attendants to sales associates, from server to manager and many other continuing stories within McMenamins. 

Qualified Applicants:

  • Obtain and maintain a current food handlers card and OLCC card
  • 21+ years of age
  • Previous related experience is preferred
  • Flexible schedule including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays preferred
  • Enjoy working in a busy customer service-oriented environment

Community:

  • Resurrection of historic buildings and properties in large and small Northwest communities
  • Giving back financially to local schools and non-profits near each location
  • Helping other local businesses grow with collaborative products
  • Our pubs and hotel properties are places for all to gather, relax, converse and create a strong foundation for the fabric that makes up a neighborhood
