The Breakdown:

Burton is looking for social individuals to spread the stoke as part of our retail team at our Chicago, IL Flagship Store. Our Sales Associates are the Jake-blue thread that connects our brand to your community and the snowboarding community at large. Our Sales Associates provide invaluable connections to our customers every day.
