Job Title: Customer Account Representative (Rent-to-Own / Field Management)
Location: Niles, MI
Pay: $16.00 – $17.00 per hour + Bonuses/Commission
Job Type: Full-time
More Than Just a Delivery Driver.
At ZSmart Furniture, our Customer Account Representatives are the engine of our business. We aren't looking for someone who just wants to drop off a box and leave. We need a professional who can manage a route, build relationships with our guests, and help them stay on the path to ownership.
We are a family-owned, high-performance team. If you have experience in Rent-to-Own (RTO) or route-based collections and want a role where you aren't stuck behind a counter all day, this is it.
Why ZSmart?
- Performance Pay: Base pay + commission and profit-sharing opportunities.
- Stability: Consistent schedule (Wednesday/Sunday off).
- Career Path: We are looking for future leaders. This role is the primary training ground for Assistant and Store Managers.
- Culture: A professional, fast-paced environment where your results are noticed.
What You’ll Do
- Account Retention: Manage a portfolio of customer accounts to ensure on-time payments and guest satisfaction.
- Field Consultations: Visit guests in the field to resolve account issues and offer solutions to keep their products in the home.
- Deliveries & Setups: Safely deliver, install, and demonstrate furniture, appliances, and electronics.
- Referral Growth: Act as a brand ambassador by encouraging guests to "spread the word" and earn rewards.
Requirements
- RTO Experience Preferred: Ideally, you have worked in a role involving collections, account management, or route sales.
- The "Hybrid" Skillset: Ability to lift 50-75 lbs (and up to 300 lbs with a partner) while maintaining a professional, business-minded attitude.
- Driver’s License: Valid license and clean record (Must be 21+).
- Communication: Comfortable having firm but polite conversations regarding credit and payments.

Application Question(s):
- Do you have experience in the Rent-to-Own (RTO) industry or route-based account management (e.g., Aaron's, Rent-A-Center, Cintas)?
- This role involves "Field Collections"—visiting customers at their homes to discuss past-due accounts or return equipment. Are you comfortable handling these types of professional, face-to-face negotiations?
- Give an example of a time you had to handle a difficult customer service or payment-related situation. How did you resolve it?
- This is a physically demanding role that includes heavy lifting AND managing financial ledgers/accounts. Does this hybrid "field and office" balance appeal to you?
- Our store schedule requires working every Saturday (with Wednesdays and Sundays off). Is this a schedule you can commit to?
