Sherman’s: Proudly Not Normal Since ’76 (and Counting!)

Forget everything you think you know about retail. Back in ’76, while the world was doing its thing, Sharon Sherman was busy building something different – a side hustle selling clocks and gifts with a whole lot of heart. Fast-forward nearly half a century, and Sherman’s has blossomed into four locations packed with home appliances, furniture, and mattresses.

Sure, we’ve grown beyond microwaves, but our family values? Rock solid. Show Concern. Have Fun. Be Helpful. Demonstrate Integrity. Show Ambition. Develop Relationships. These aren’t just words on a wall; they’re the fuel that keeps us going. 

Why are we here? Because we’re genuinely passionate about our community. We’re the neighbors who help people turn houses into homes. And it all started because Sharon dared to be different.

Now, about you. 
You are looking for a career where you can work hands-on, help people, and not sit behind a desk all day. 

  • You enjoy solving problems  
  • You stay calm under pressure  
  • You know how to build trust with people 
  • You are humble enough to learn and confident enough to improve 

So, if you have that kind of mindset — along with some mechanical inclination and a natural tendency to tinker — this might be the role for you.

We are looking for an Appliance Service Technician to join our growing team! 

Sherman’s Appliance Service Technicians diagnose and repair home appliances in customer’s homes. You will help us create customers for life by solving issues quickly and without hassle. It’s your job to WOW customers with your expertise and helpfulness.

So, What Does “Not Normal” Look Like Day-to-Day?

  • Starting your morning at our shop reviewing your route, grabbing parts, and meeting with the team to talk through challenging repairs, share ideas, and learn from each other.  
  • Driving a company-provided sprinter van to customers’ homes throughout the day.  
  • Diagnosing and repairing appliances in the field while helping frustrated customers feel heard, informed, and taken care of.  
  • Working independently in the field while staying connected to a close-knit, team-oriented department that supports each other constantly.  
  • Calling teammates for help, troubleshooting tough problems together, and sharing knowledge openly. 
  • Being coached, challenged, and expected to keep learning as appliance technology continues to evolve.  
  • Having those moments where an appliance problem makes absolutely no sense… until suddenly everything clicks and you figure it out by using your resources and your stick-to-itiveness. 

So, If You Like:

  • Hands-on, problem-solving work  
  • Figuring out how things operate and why they break  
  • Talking with people  
  • Working independently without being completely on your own  
  • Staying busy and learning new things constantly  
  • Turning stressful situations into positive customer experiences  
  • Being part of a team that values accountability, growth, and honesty  
  • A Monday-Friday schedule with no on-call rotations  

Then...

You might fit in really well here.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, is mechanically inclined, and wants to keep learning and improving. Technical knowledge can be taught over time, but attitude, professionalism, and coachability matter just as much.

Apply today and start building a career with Sherman’s!

Equal Opportunity Employer. Pre-employment drug screen, physical, and background check required.

Sherman's Inc.

Sherman's is not your typical store. We weren't normal in 1976, and we're never going to be normal. See, we were founded as a side-hustle when a fiercely-independent woman named Sharon Sherman decided to sell some clocks and gifts while her kids were in school. Her husband Jack was a lineman at CILCO. Do you know how hard it is to be a lineman? Real hard. Like hard enough that taking a risk to sell some crazy new thing called a "microwave" seemed like a safer way to make a living. Now back then, no one knew what the heck a microwave was, and they sure didn't want to shell out $500 for one. But that wasn't going to stop Jack or Sharon. They constructed a microwave cooking school. Every Peorian and their friend attended Sharon's cooking classes. OK, maybe not everyone, but they were a hit, and we were officially in the home appliance business. Then came the dawn of the flashy big box stores and the world proclaimed, "Local businesses are doomed!". We begged to differ. Instead, Jack and Sharon said how 'bout you "Deal Direct with the Owners and Save!"? Peorians liked the sound of that better. They still do. Today more than 190 employees bear Jack and Sharon's can-do attitude across four Central Illinois locations. Their son, Paul Sherman, currently steers this ship. He says all we have to do is, "Make sure our customers are really happy they chose Sherman's." Sounds easy enough, right? Actually no, but working hard is in our DNA. You wanna know something silly? Just the other day we heard a mumbling that rhymed with Hamzon, followed by, "Local businesses are doomed!". We've heard that before somewhere. Over 40 years ago. You can shop plenty of normal stores, but we're happy being different. It's exactly what you're going to love about us.
