In addition, the company expects to hire about 2,500 seasonal positions at distribution centers and more than 500 seasonal and full-time credit operations positions.
Seasonal employees can work up to 20 hours per week. Typical store jobs include unloading trucks, freight processing, stocking and cash register duties.
