More Than A Seasonal Job
The holiday season can be an opportunity to build a longer-term career with Paper Source. Temporary team members may have opportunities to stay with the company after the holidays, as Paper Source values employee development, individual growth and longevity within the brand.
A Culture of Community
Paper Source stores are built around authentic human connections—with customers, coworkers and home office partners. The majority of Paper Source customers shop in-person at the more 105 stores around the country. Each location cultivates a neighborhood feel. Everyday examples of that community spirit include:
- Creating welcoming, personal interactions that make customers (and in many cases, their dogs too!) feel valued.
- Participating in community events, from sidewalk sales to trick or treating.
- Celebrating the unique personalities and traditions that make each store special, be it through staff favorite recommendations or cheering for the local team.
The Paper Source Experience
Creativity. Connection. Joy.
Paper Source's people are at the heart of its customer experience. Team members are valued as individuals, encouraged to share their creativity and empowered to create meaningful moments for customers.
From helping someone find the perfect gift to creating an inspiring display—or simply making a customer feel welcome—the holiday team helps make Paper Source a happy place for customers and coworkers alike.
