FULL-TIME FORMALWEAR SALES SPECIALIST

VIP Formal Wear — Raleigh, NC

Want a job where your effort actually matters?

VIP Formal Wear is hiring a full-time Formalwear Sales Specialist for our Raleigh stores.

We've been in business for over 50 years, specializing in tuxedo and suit rentals and sales. We're looking for someone who is reliable, motivated, professional, and good with people.

This is NOT a sit-behind-the-counter retail job. You'll work directly with customers, help them choose what to wear, take measurements, build rental orders, make sales, and make sure they leave the store confident about how they look.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Help customers select suits, tuxedos, shirts, shoes, and accessories
  • Measure customers and help ensure proper fit
  • Build and manage tuxedo rental orders
  • Work with wedding parties and groups
  • Sell formalwear and accessories
  • Provide excellent customer service
  • Handle customer questions and solve problems
  • Receive, organize, inspect, and prepare garments
  • Process rental returns and prepare garments for future customers
  • Keep the showroom clean, organized, and professional
  • Work with the rest of the team to keep the store running efficiently
WE WANT SOMEONE WHO

  • Shows up on time and can be counted on
  • Is comfortable talking to customers
  • Has a positive, professional attitude
  • Is confident making sales and recommendations
  • Pays attention to details
  • Learns quickly and takes direction
  • Takes pride in doing a job correctly
  • Can work evenings and weekends when needed
  • Wants to develop into a valuable member of the company
Previous experience in suits, tuxedos, men's clothing, retail sales, tailoring, or customer service is a PLUS — but it is not required. We will train the right person.

THIS JOB MAY BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF...

You enjoy working with people, don't mind staying busy, and like the satisfaction of helping someone find exactly what they need.

You don't need to know everything about formalwear when you start. We can teach you the business. What we can't teach is reliability, work ethic, and a good attitude.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Full-time position
  • Competitive hourly pay 
  • Sales and Rental commission
  • Sales incentives / bonus opportunities
  • Employee discounts
  • Paid training
  • Opportunity to learn a specialized business
  • Opportunity for advancement
IMPORTANT

Our business gets extremely busy during wedding, prom, and special-event seasons. Dependability is extremely important.

If you are looking for a job where you can learn, work with customers, develop sales skills, and become an important part of a long-established local company, we want to hear from you.

APPLY TODAY

When applying, tell us briefly about your previous retail, sales, customer service, men's clothing, suit, or tuxedo experience.
