Note: The following is a quoted testimonial from Holly, Seasonal Sales Assistant from last year. “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 the prices are correct for all our customers, however, I do like seeing kids get excited about seeing their favourite toys in stock brings me back to when I was younger and enjoyed those same toys, for me this is very rewarding and 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, whether that's to grab an item off the top shelf or to recommend a toy or bestseller for Christmas, I love being a Seasonal Sales Assistant as I feel that those little jobs like restocking can make a big difference to a customer coming in to our store for the first time."
