Burlington Stores Ramps Up Seasonal Hiring
Burlington Stores has kicked off a large seasonal hiring push, creating more than 24,000 opportunities for job seekers across the country. The initiative, already underway, is geared toward the busy season ahead and focuses on filling essential roles in both distribution centers and retail stores. If you’re looking for flexible, short-term work with the potential to learn the business and grow, this is a wide-open window.
Seasonal Roles at a Glance
As part of this effort, Burlington aims to hire 1,500 full-time seasonal associates for its distribution centers and 23,000 part-time seasonal associates for its stores. In-store roles include cashiers, retail sales associates, and stocking associates. Together, these positions keep merchandise moving, shelves filled, and checkouts running smoothly—which is exactly what the season demands.
The variety of openings reflects Burlington’s intent to welcome candidates with different schedules, backgrounds, and levels of experience. Whether you’re most comfortable on the sales floor, working behind the scenes, or in a fast-paced warehouse environment, there’s a spot designed for the peak period.
A Simpler, Tech-Assisted Application
Burlington is using a virtual recruitment assistant, Allison, to make applying straightforward. Allison guides candidates through the process—from screening to hiring—so each step is clear and consistent. The idea is simple: fewer hurdles, faster decisions, and a more user-friendly experience from start to finish. Interested applicants can begin through the Burlington Stores hiring website and move at a pace that fits their day.
Pay, Schedules, and Room to Grow
The company offers competitive hourly wages and flexible shifts, two essentials for seasonal workers balancing school, caregiving, or another job. Employees also receive discounts and are encouraged to explore internal promotion opportunities. Recognition events highlight individual and team contributions and reinforce Burlington’s focus on inclusion and belonging.
In short, the package is built for the season but doesn’t stop there. If you’re looking for more than a temporary paycheck, Burlington’s emphasis on advancement gives seasonal associates a line of sight to what could come next.
Culture and Job Satisfaction
Jason Wilcox, senior vice president of human resources, underscored Burlington’s excitement about expanding its hiring and emphasized the company’s inclusive culture. The goal is to create an environment where associates from a range of backgrounds can contribute and thrive. That sense of inclusion isn’t just a value statement—it’s tied to day-to-day performance. Burlington believes its associates are central to delivering the kind of customer service that keeps people coming back. It’s part of the model.
