Love people and love shoes? Let's talk.
At Abbadabba's, selling shoes means helping customers find comfort, style and the right fit, with service they remember. We're always glad to meet confident, energetic people who love working with customers, enjoy a challenge and take pride in doing the job well.
This isn't a cashier job. Our salespeople take the initiative: they greet customers, ask questions, find out what each person needs and recommend what will work.
The best people on our team are self-motivated, dependable and competitive in a good way. They own their results, back up their teammates and go the extra mile.
Never sold shoes before? That's okay! We'll teach you about footwear, fitting and our brands. You bring the drive, curiosity and personality.
We accept applications year-round for all three Atlanta stores. Think you've got what it takes? We'd love to hear from you.
