What are the responsibilities of a Universal Store Director? As a Universal Store Director, your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, store set up, store operation, store promotion, and store closeout. Camps will consist of participants ranging in age from elementary to high school, as well as coaches and advisors. As a Universal Store Director, one of the most important duties will be to develop and maintain a good rapport with the camp directors, head instructors, university officials, campers, and advisors. You will be expected to stay in the dorm with the participants unless you live within 30 minutes of the campus.

How will I know what to do? We have a mandatory training session that will take place in either late May or early June. We cover everything you need to know involved with running a Universal Store. We pay all of your expenses to this session. This training session is not a paid week. We will help arrange transportation to and from the training session. Sites for this training are tentatively set in Tennessee, Wisconsin, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania. You will attend the training session in your region.

What camps will I work and how will I get there? You will work camps in an 8-hour radius from your home. The number of camps you work will depend on how many weeks you are available and what are of the country you are from. Staffing for each camp is done in the national office. You will be responsible for your own transportation to and from camps. Travel is required for this job.

How long is each camp? Most camps are 4 days and 3 nights (room and board are provided at each camp). You will report by noon the day before the camp starts. For example, most camps start Tuesday morning and end Friday morning. For those camps, you will report on Monday at noon. This will give you time to get ready for the participants arriving the next day.

How much will I get paid? $200.00 base salary per camp
$40 expense money (non-taxed) per camp. If you happen to go over the $40, we will reimburse you.
$30 average car allowance (non-taxed) per camp
Commission - a percentage of sales
We also pay your room and board, which has an approximate value of $300 per camp.

How can I do this? Fill out an application and send in ASAP. We will begin hiring in February 2004. APPLICATION DEADLINE MARCH 5th, 2004. Application available at Career Services.
