The Culture Sets the Vibe

At Ernest, we don’t just build careers—we build community. Our culture is rooted in putting our people first, always. We believe in celebrating wins big and small, sharing meals, enjoying the journey together, and showing real appreciation for the individuals who make our company great. When you join Ernest, you become part of something bigger: a connected culture where you’re valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. This isn’t just a place to work—it’s a second home, a second family,  our Ernest family.


Ready to build something that’s yours—forever?

At Ernest, we don’t just sell packaging—we build partnerships. We’re looking for a Client Relationship Manager who thrives in the field, loves the chase, and builds lasting relationships that pay off (literally).

This is outside sales with serious upside. You’ll prospect, pitch, and open new accounts—and then own and grow them. You’ll keep earning residual income from every account you bring in. That’s right—forever.


What You’ll Do

  • Engage potential clients through proactive, in-person outreach and meaningful relationship-building within your territory
  • Develop a book of business through new client acquisition
  • Manage and grow the accounts you open—these are yours to keep
  • Offer solutions with our products in packaging, automation, janitorial, safety, and beyond
  • Represent the Ernest brand with professionalism and personality

What You’ll Get

  • Uncapped earnings: Base salary + commission + bonuses + car allowance
  • Residual income from your accounts (even years down the line). High impact, high reward. $200k–$400k isn’t a stretch—it’s the standard for our best.
  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO
  • Culture that clicks: Fun, supportive, driven—we root for each other
  • Legacy with lift: 75+ years of innovation, and we’re still growing

What We’re Looking For

  • Passion for sales and relationship-building
  • Previous experience in outside sales
  • Hunter mentality with a knack for face-to-face engagement
  • Resilience, positivity, and an entrepreneurial gritty spirit

We're not your typical company—and we don’t want typical salespeople. We want someone bold, curious, driven, and ready to grow something extraordinary. If this is you, let's do this. Unbox your potential by moving packaging forward—with Ernest.

Ernest is a nationwide company, but did you know that our humble roots started in a Los Angeles garage? Brothers Ernie and Charles Wilson founded the company in 1946 with a dedication to customized service. Even after decades of delivering great packaging to our customers, that commitment has never changed. We always find the best solution to fit our customers’ needs, even if we have to invent it!
