Holly, Seasonal Sales Assistant from last year says:

"Working for The Entertainer is a wonderful and thrilling experience; there is never a day where I am bored or have nothing to do. I enjoy restocking and making sure all prices are correct for all our customers. I love seeing kids get excited about seeing their favourite toys in stock – this brings me back to when I was younger and enjoyed those same toys. For me this is very rewarding and I love seeing the excited and thrilled looks on their faces. On the weekends when it is especially busy, I like to replenish and make myself available for everybody. I can recommend a toy or bestseller for Christmas. I love being a Seasonal Sales Assistant as I feel those little jobs like restocking can make a big difference to a customer coming in to our store for the first time."
