About Orvis:
We are a family-owned, international multichannel retailer, and we are proud of our culture, in which associates deliver world-class customer service, and exceptional products & learning opportunities.

As an Orvis Retail Sales Associate, you deliver world-class customer service that inspires customers to love the adventure and wonder in nature. You greet, engage, and share your expertise with customers to ensure their needs are met, and you find ways to exceed their expectations.

We are passionate, curious, and approachable.
Our store teams are teachers, mentors, and problem solvers. We live to develop and share our equipment, apparel, and expertise to outfit deeper connections and authentic experiences in the outdoors for a more inspired life.

We are the most-trusted lifestyle brand rooted in the innovation of fly-fishing and wingshooting.
Everything we make, offer, or share flows from generations of curiosity on the water, in the field, and around the fire.

The natural world is at the core of our passions and our business.
Cold mountain streams, high-country grasslands, and saltwater flats—these are the places we feel most alive. We know the power of the experiences they provide and live for the anticipation it brings. And we must preserve these places for future generations. This is why we commit 5% of pre-tax profits to protecting what we love.

We offer a retail career experience like no other. Our people are our most valuable asset, and we empower our associates to take care of the customer and exceed expectations. To be at their best, we also recognize that our associates need time to recharge and connect with nature.
