Job Opportunities

Would you like to earn $16.00/hour, working 4 days/week, and get paid commission & bonuses for working harder & smarter?  Then come explore the job opportunities at DAN’S PAWN.  We start our Pawnbroker Associates at effectively $13.25 per hour* (which includes $3.00/hr commission), and aggressively promote our top producers (we do performance reviews on a quarterly basis, so everyone gets 4 pay raises per year).  We also offer health insurance after 6 months (for our full timers), 10% employee discount on purchases, recruiting bonuses, customer referral bonuses (during income tax season), a holiday bonus every December (depending on how profitable the company has been that fiscal year), and after 90 days, all employees enjoy memo privilege*.

We have a great schedule:

Two (2) locations to choose from (one on either side of town).

And Opportunities for Advancement

* Memo Privilege is extended to all employees after completing their 90-day Probationary Period.  We let you borrow used merchandise (that is out-for-sale in our inventory) rent-free, for 30 days.  This program has been very popular, allowing employees to “sign out” the following types of merchandise;  DVD movies, CD’s, video games & game systems, tools, guitars, electronics, fishing gear, sporting goods, and even jewelry.  They rarely purchase anything while working for us, because they can just borrow it, use it for a few weeks, then return it.  NOTE:  And we can still sell it for full price after they return it because it was used to start with (and their having borrowed it for 30 days doesn’t de-value it anymore).

Qualified applicants must be:

Experience in any (or all) of these product lines is a plus:

Retail experience is a plus, but not required.  We hire based on talent.  If you have personal integrity, a cheerful disposition, and good customer service skills;  we can train. 

A modern, high-volume pawnshop is a unique and interesting place to work … especially for anyone with a SALES or LENDING background.  If you are ready for a challenge, ready to do something different & exciting, then come join the professionals at Dan’s Pawn!

EARNINGS POTENTIAL:  Base pay is $10.00 per hour during training period (first 30 days).  Then the $3.00 per hour Employee Commission structure is phased in as follows:

You are also eligible for your first Performance Review at the 90-day mark (which averages $0.25/hour).  So with your raise in base pay, and the full $3.00/hour commission … the average employee makes about $13.25 at the end of their Probationary Period.  With three more quarterly raises in base pay (@ $0.25/hr ea.), the average employee makes $11.00/hr in base pay and $3.00/hr in commissions, for a total of $14.00/hr by the end of their 1st year. 

Exceptional employees average higher pay raises (~$1.25/hr total in 1st year), and higher commissions (~$3.75/hr).  Hence, the higher target of $15.00 per hour by the end of the 1st year (see the chart shown below for detailed examples of this process).

In addition to regular earnings, all employees receive an Annual Bonus in December.  This bonus can range from $100 – 1000 and is basically a factor of three things:

1. How many hours you worked in the last 12 months
2. What your average productivity was over the last 12 months
3. How profitable the company was over the last 12 months

This annual bonus, coupled with a $500 Recruiting Reward or two, and anywhere from $250 to $750 in Fast Tax customer referral bonuses could easily yield a total of $2,000+ per year in extra bonuses.  This effectively adds another $1.00/hr to your earnings bringing your total earnings power to about $16.00/hr, by the end of your 1st year.

This is the fast-track to success that we envision for all of our Pawnbroker Associates.
