I’m sure they have no problem hiring store employees for a three month temporary job - but I can’t figure out how they find store and district managers when those are also temporary jobs (district managers start in July, store managers in August) and they require retail management experience at least for the district managers. Lots of companies hire seasonal employees , but many are at locations that are open and have management year-round (retail stores, delivery services, tax preparation offices). There are other jobs that don’t exist year-round, but are in the same place from one year to the next and attract people who work a job with an “opposite” schedule - for example, a teacher who spends the summer working as a camp director or as the social director at a resort.
But I can’t quite figure out how Spirit is finding managers when 1) their stores are in different locations from year to year and 2) there isn’t any segment of retail I can think of that closes from July or August through the first week of November allowing people to work at Spirit during that segment’s off-season. The only thing I can think of is that they are hiring retired or unemployed retail managers - is that what’s happening or am I missing something?
