Seasonal Retail Associate

Seasonal Retail Associate — Boston Scally

Boston Scally Company grew out of the sarcasm, grit, and humble pride that define Boston, and out of the scally cap, the piece of headwear that has carried that culture for generations. We make quality caps and apparel that represent a blue-collar mentality, for Bostonians and for anyone who gets what that means.

Role Overview

As a Seasonal Retail Associate, you'll be the face of Boston Scally on the shop floor through our busiest time of year, October through January.
