Sweet Deals & Appliance is looking for a reliable, hardworking sales associate who is comfortable helping customers and performing hands-on work. We sell appliances, cabinets, and flooring and provide appliance delivery and installation services throughout the Grand Rapids area.

What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who takes initiative, follows through on assigned work, treats customers professionally, and is willing to help wherever needed. The ideal candidate wants to grow into a dependable, long-term member of the business—not someone interested only in making sales while avoiding the physical side of the position.
To Apply
Please submit your resume and briefly describe your experience with sales, customer service, deliveries, installations, appliances, warehouse work, or power tools. Please also include your general availability for mornings, evenings, and weekends.
