Roles We Hire For

02

What the Work Is Like

• Short and intense. Each tent season is short, with the biggest crowds right around the holiday.
• Customer-facing. Most of the job is talking with shoppers, answering questions and helping families plan a show. Our customers often mention friendly, knowledgeable staff.
• Two seasons a year. Work the Fourth of July, New Year’s Eve, or both.

03

Where We Hire

We hire for our 16 Florida tents in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs and Immokalee. See the store locations page for every address, and read about Firepower to learn how our tents work.

A Typical Tent Season

1. Before the season. Applications and interviews for new operators and staff.
2. Setup week. The tent goes up, inventory arrives and the tables get stocked.
3. Opening days. Steady traffic, lots of questions and plenty of time to learn the products.
4. The final stretch. The days right before the holiday bring the biggest crowds.
5. Takedown. Count the inventory, pack it up and clear the site.

Questions Applicants Ask

• Do I need fireworks experience? No. Retail or customer-service experience helps.
• Can I work both seasons? Yes. Pick the summer season, the winter one, or both.
• Is it full-time? During the season the hours are long, especially near the holiday. It’s short-term work, not a year-round job.
