Our PCs conduct business under unique trade names and offer a customized business approach, honoring what’s special about each local marketplace.

Kohler Experience Center is one of those trade names and is looking for a Sales Consultant (Showroom Sales) at their New York City, NY location. 

Pay for Sales Consultant (Showroom Sales) is between $28.50 and $36.50 per hour at this location.
