About Vessi Vessi is a footwear and apparel brand born in rainy Vancouver, Canada. We believe rainy days deserve the same joy as sunny ones, and since 2018 we’ve been helping people embrace the rain. That’s why everything we make is actually waterproof, so getting out in the rain, puddles and everything in between is easier and more fun. We also partner with charities to protect and replenish fresh water for the communities that need it most. Our team and community are out in the world spreading kindness, cold plunging, cleaning up coastlines and celebrating rainy days. With our retail stores, more people than ever can experience Vessi in person, and we have big plans ahead with new products and continued growth across North America. If you’re the type to walk through a puddle rather than around it, we’ll get along just fine. Wage Range: $21.00–$24.00 per hour What You’ll Do Store Operations
