Build Expertise. Earn More. Grow With Us.

Do you enjoy figuring out what a customer needs, explaining their options, and helping them choose the right solution?

Batteries Plus is a specialty retail and service business helping customers solve automotive, power, and technology needs. Our stores provide batteries for vehicles, equipment, electronics, and specialty applications, along with services such as automotive key programming, battery installation, device repair, lighting solutions, and more.

We're looking for someone who wants to move beyond basic retail and develop into a confident, knowledgeable sales professional.

At Batteries Plus, sales is built on expertise, trust, and finding the right solution - not high-pressure tactics. You'll build knowledge customers rely on while earning incentives based on your individual performance.

You do not need experience with batteries, automotive keys, or device repair. Bring a strong customer-service or sales foundation, dependable work habits, and the initiative to learn. We'll provide the training.

Pay & Performance

Expected Total Earnings: $20.00 – $23.50 per hour

Your total earnings are made up of:

• Hourly Pay: $15.50–$16.50 per hour

• Individual Sales Incentives: Typically add $3.00 – $6.00+ per hour based on individual performance, with uncapped earning potential

• Weekend Premium: +$5 per hour for weekend hours worked

• 90-Day Training Guarantee: Base-level incentive earnings are guaranteed while you learn the role

At least one weekend day per week is required.

Put Your People Skills to Work

• Consultative Sales: Ask questions, understand the customer's application, explain options, and confidently recommend the right products and services.

• Product Expertise: Build specialized knowledge across batteries, automotive applications, key programming, lighting, device repair, and other technical categories.

• Customer Experience: Build trust, address concerns, explain value, and own the customer experience from greeting through checkout and follow-through.

• Store Responsibility: Support inventory, merchandising, daily operations, and opening/closing keyholder responsibilities.

Advanced technical or repair experience is not required. Our designated technicians handle more complex repair work while you help customers understand their options and coordinate the right solution.

Who We're Looking For

This role is designed for someone ready to take the next step beyond basic transactional customer service.

• Relevant Experience: At least 1 year of sales or customer service experience in a role where you regularly advised customers, recommended solutions, or worked toward performance goals.

• Professional & Reliable: Communicates confidently, follows through, and takes ownership.

• Coachable & Curious: Wants to learn products, improve selling skills, and apply feedback.

• Performance-Minded: Comfortable making recommendations, asking for the sale, and working toward individual goals.

Experience in wireless, automotive service or parts, electronics, hardware, specialty retail, hospitality, or another consultative customer environment can be especially relevant.

• Partial-paid health insurance

• Group dental, vision, and short-term disability coverage options

• SIMPLE IRA with 3% employer match

• Paid time off and holidays

• Paid training and certifications

• Employee discounts
