Everyone on staff at Self Serve is a trained sex educator, and we strive to create a welcoming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where our customers can learn about sex. We carefully select our products to ensure that everything on our shelves is body-safe and the best quality available on the market.
We have been open 18 years and are fighting to survive and thrive in this hellscape of late stage capitalism collapse. We currently have a team of seven and are looking to add 2 people to our ecosystem. We are seeking coworkers and collaborators who want to do good work that matters to us and to our community. We are hoping to hire people who understand and love that working at a small business is different than most jobs. We want to work with people who value that experience and are willing and able to put the work in to keep this dream afloat. We offer a work environment that is unique in this world and we are hopeful we can find the people who will help us grow together.
