Omnichannel department store operator with ~300 stores across 16 Southeastern states

The hiring velocity is accelerating with 594 roles posted in the last 30 days, weighted heavily toward sales and store operations, signaling active investment in store fulfillment, inventory accuracy, and shortage control—core pain points across the estate.
