A pawn broker/manager is an individual who possesses the abilities to operate a pawn shop. To be a successful shop manager at Pawn King, you must possess an entrepreneurial style of leadership. You also must be a person who can organize and manage the team as well as the business with a considerable amount of initiative. You will be challenged daily to evaluate risk versus reward so this career is not for the faint hearted. Courage and resolution are required. Entrepreneurship can’t be taught. You either possess it or you don’t. We are looking for innovative people who seek to improve what already exists. We promote heavily from within our own ranks. Store manager trainees have significant opportunities to advance within our store management ranks due to our accelerated career path. We are committed to ongoing training and professional development. We offer a competitive base pay and a bonus structure that allows you to give yourself a raise. We have 14 stores currently and we’re opening new locations each year. If you find yourself saying “This sounds great, but I don’t know anything about a pawn shop!” That’s OKAY! We are looking for people with the right passion, attitude, drive, and customer centric outlook. We can teach the necessary skills, but we CANNOT teach these qualities! In fact, many of our most successful store managers were in the same situation before finding a career with Pawn King. The million dollar question: Do you have an outgoing personality, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a drive to succeed rapidly in a performance based culture. We encourage those interested in learning to truly manage a business to join us and be a part of our team. Pawn King operates 14 pawn shops in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. We offer short term collateralize loans. We also sell new and used merchandise at a great value. Pawn King offers an extraordinary place to build a career!
