Employment Opportunities
Is Up and Running the Right Fit for You?
Fit Professionals: This position is focused on providing service to guests on our retail floor. You will be trained in our fit processes (shoes, insoles, sports bras and all other products). Just like finding the right shoe, hiring the right person is all about fit. We are looking for energetic, outgoing team members who will work between 15-35 hours per week, with a mix of days, evenings and weekends. The right candidate will have a passion for fitness and exercise with at least some experience in running, walking, cycling, swimming and the like. Prior retail experience is a plus.
Here are a few questions to see if Up and Running is a good fit for you…
Do you have sale sense? Our guests appreciate learning our products, you should be comfortable about education and suggesting items people might enjoy. People know us as the FIT experts; “fit” does not just refer to shoes but all our products and our service. You will need to make an effort during our training process to educate yourself about all of our products, so that you can deliver the highest level of service our guests have come to expect. We’ll help you, but it will be up to you to ask questions and take the time to learn and remember things.
Can you stay calm and friendly under pressure? Imagine providing superior customer care to 2 guests at the same time while several other guests are waiting. Things can get very busy here; expect a fast pace for hours on end.
Are you a team player? Up and Running is like a family and we work closely with each other; we all depend on each other and support each other.
Do you pay attention to little things? It’s the thoughtful little touches that make a specialty store so special, like remembering frequent guest’s name or what shoes they run in. Fun little extras go a long way and make your job worth the effort.
Are you patient and eager to serve people? We expect team members to take a friendly attitude towards guests- to smile, greet them as soon as they walk in, to make conversation, to take time and care for their needs.
Are you available on evenings and weekends? Evenings and weekends are a key time when many of our guests shop and stop by the store for one of our many fun runs and seminars. It is critical to our continued success that our employees be flexible and comfortable working a variety of shifts, including evenings and weekends.
