So many parents wish there was a way we could add more hours to the day. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with just 24 of them, but we can try to make the most of the time we’ve got. One way more and more working mamas are maximizing the time we do have is by cutting out the commute and working from home.It can add an hour or two back to your day, and (depending on your hours and circumstances) it can even make childcare arrangements easier. And with more big companies offering legit remote opportunities, it’s easier than ever for parents to find these opportunities. As Motherly recently reported, Amazon is on a bit of a remote hiring spree ahead of the holiday season , and it’s not the only one.
Williams-Sonoma is currently seeking Seasonal Customer Service Associates to work from home. It is looking for remote workers in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Phoenix, Reno, Tulsa, and near Raleigh, Columbus, Braselton, and Oklahoma City.These work-from-home positions are part of Williams-Sonoma’s plan to hire about 3,500 associates for its Customer Care Centers. The company says a “significant portion of positions” for the Customer Care Centers will be work-from-home . They’re looking for remote workers who live no more than an hour and a half away from one of the Customer Care Centers as “on occasion our Work From Home associates must come to the Care Center for meetings and training with advanced notice,” the company notes in the job postings.
The positions are very similar to what Amazon is looking for: Basically customer service reps who can take inbound calls to help shoppers with orders, returns and issues with finding products or deliveries of products. Williams-Sonoma is looking for people who can work 30 – 50 hours per week, and the pay is listed at $12 per hour.Another perk is a 40% discount on most merchandise, which great because the Williams-Sonoma umbrella includes brands like Pottery Barn and West Elm as well.Sounds like this could be a great gig for a mama with customer service skills and a high-speed internet connection.
